2. “"In King v. State, 195 Kan. 736 , 408 P. 2d 599 , we had occasion to examine this rule and in the course of that opinion we said: “ ‘. • • The express terms of the rule precludes the petitioner from maintaining this action at this time. No matter what our conclusion might be on the merits of the contentions advanced by petitioner in his motion, he would not be released from prison, for he still would be confined under other sentences whose validity is not involved in this case.’ (pp. 737, 738.) “Our holding in the King case is concisely expressed in the syllabus in this language: “ ‘A prisoner is not entitled to challenge the validity of a sentence by a motion filed under K. S. A. 60-1507 where, despite an adjudication finding the sentence void, he would still be confined under another sentence.’ (p. 736.) “We believe this to be a salutary rule essential to the prompt and orderly dispatch of judicial business. No reason is perceived for departing therefrom in this case.” (p. 372.)”
