1. ““The circumstances now are such that appellant may serve the remainder of his Maryland sentence in this State and then be forced to serve the'remainder of the Pennsylvania sentences upon the future revocation of his parole. It is entirely conceivable that Pennsylvania could either wait until the Maryland time had been served before reimposing the balance of appellant’s sentences or reimpose those sentences so as to run consecutively to those now being served in' Maryland.””

2. ““appellant is clearly being denied an essential element of the bargain, to wit: his immediate return to Pennsylvania. Whether or not the Maryland courts have the power to return appellant to Pennsylvania to serve his time there is beside the point. The crucial consideration here is that appellant has not been given that which he justifiably contemplated as the quid pro quo for his guilty pleas.””
