An application for a common carrier certificate of convenience and necessity or a certificate of public service shall be considered as contested if either protestants or intervenors, or both, appear at the hearing held on the application and present testimony or evidence in support of their contentions, present a question or questions of law, or cross-examine the applicant's witnesses with regard to the application. If neither protestants nor intervenors appear and offer testimony or evidence in support of their contentions, raise a question of law, or cross-examine the applicant's witnesses with reference to any pending application, the application shall be considered as uncontested.
