Sec. 7. If in a proceeding in a city court the title to land is put in issue by plea supported by affidavit, or manifestly appears from the proof on trial to be in issue, the court shall, without further proceeding, certify the case and papers to the circuit or other court having jurisdiction in the county in which the case is being tried. However, if the title to land is put in issue by affidavit or verified pleading, the court shall at once hear and determine whether title is in issue, and, if the proof supports the issue, then the case shall be certified for final determination, including the issue of title.
