Barnes v. Aderhold
40 S.E.2d 423 | Ga. | 1946
Where a habeas corpus proceeding is brought by a person under sentence, it is the appropriate remedy only when the court is without jurisdiction in making the order, rendering the judgment, or passing sentence by virtue of which the party is imprisoned, so that such order, judgment, or sentence is not merely erroneous, but is absolutely void.
Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.
