1. ““The defendant herein is entitled to a hearing as to the truth of his allegation that his lawyer had lead him to believe that an appeal would be taken and that he reasonably relied on that assurance. If it be found upon the hearing that he was induced by reason of that representation, to allow his time to take an appeal to expire or that he was mislead as to his right to appeal, he should — in accordance with the procedure we have adopted — be re-sentenced nunc pro tunc upon the previous finding of guilt so as to afford him ‘an opportunity of prosecuting and perfecting an appeal, since the time for taking such appeal would date from the rendition of the new judgment.’ ””
