Upon the presentation of such petition, the court may allow a writ of certiorari directed to the city council to review such decision of the city council and shall prescribe therein the time within which a return must be made and served upon the realtor's attorney, which shall not be less than ten days and may be extended by the court. The allowance of the writ shall not stay proceedings upon the decision appealed from, but the court may, on application, on notice to the city council and on due cause shown, grant a restraining order.
