DUCKWORTH, Chief Justice.
It is lawful for the grand jury to return any number of indictments for the same offense although the accused can be lawfully tried under only one of them. Doyal v. State, 70 Ga. 134; Irwin v. State, 117 Ga. 706 ( 45 S.E. 48); Pride v. State, 125 Ga. 750 ( 54 S.E. 688); Sims v. State, 221 Ga. 190 ( 144 S.E.2d 103). Applying the above rule of law to this habeas corpus case where the sole alleged ground of illegal detention was that the applicant was charged in one accusation and two indictments with the same offense, and was sentenced under one indictment, the other two being dismissed, we find no error in the judgment remanding him to the custody of the sheriff.
Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.
SUBMITTED JULY 10, 1967 — DECIDED JULY 14, 1967.
