1. ““Appellant now argues on appeal to our court that his guilty plea was unlawfully induced because he was not informed by the lower court that a guilty plea would result in a waiver of the right to subsequently raise various issues (unlawful arrest, unlawful search and seizure, double jeopardy, and violation of Rule 1100). Our Supreme Court has held that where the court below has not had a proper opportunity to decide a question, the question will not be decided on appeal. Commonwealth v. Bittner, 441 Pa. 216, 221 , 272 A.2d 484 (1971). In the case before us, appellant, although represented by counsel at the time did not raise this issue anywhere in the PCHA proceedings. This issue is therefore waived.” Commonwealth v. Robinson, Id. 3”
