““ ‘The broad language of K.S.A. 60-260(b)(6) authorizing relief for “any other reason justifying relief from the operation of the judgment” gives the court ample power to vacate judgments whenever such action is appropriate to accomplish justice. This power is not provided in order to relieve a party from free, calculated and deliberate choices he has made. The party remains under a duty to take legal steps to protect his interests.’ ””
