The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an appeal by the State in a proceeding initiated pursuant to K.S.A. 60-1507, wherein a prisoner in custody under sentence of a court of general jurisdiction claimed the right to be released upon the ground that he was denied due process of law and was unjustly, unlawfully and illegally confined in violation of the Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. The trial court after granting the petitioner an evidentiary hearing, vacated and set aside the sentence which it originally imposed, and ordered the petitioner's discharge from imprisonment. The underlying question in the case is whether the petitioner's constitutional rights have been violated.
