247 Ind. 193 | Ind. | 1966
This is an attempted appeal from the LaPorte Circuit Court.
The matters alleged in his petition concern the right to counsel at all stages of the proceedings, being held in the Lake County jail for a period of approximately two months, a claim that the pre-sentence investigation report was not proper or adequate, and a claim that he was denied the right to question the witnesses.
Even if we were to assume that every fact stated in the petition were true, the LaPorte Circuit Court still would not have jurisdiction to grant a writ of habeas corpus. So far as the petition discloses, the judgment of the Lake County Criminal Court and the commitment made thereunder were valid orders of a court having appropriate jurisdiction.
The judgment of the LaPorte Circuit Court in denying petitioner’s petition is affirmed.
Myers, C. J., Jackson and Arterburn, JJ., concur. Achor, J., not participating.
Note. — Reported in 214 N. E. 2d 174.
