*340Dissenting Opinion by
Mb. Justice Nix:
I agree with. Justice Robebts’ conclusion in his dissenting opinion that neither of the appeals before us properly raised the constitutional issue. I only add that it has long been the rule of this Court that we will not attempt to resolve constitutional issues unless the specific issue is before the court and the resolution of the issue is absolutely necessary to the decision of the case. Binder v. Triangle Publications, Inc., 442 Pa. 319, 275 A. 2d 53 (1971); Misitis v. Steel City Piping, 441 Pa. 339, 272 A. 2d 883 (1971); Shuman v. Bernie’s Drug Concessions, 409 Pa. 539, 187 A. 2d 660 (1963).
