Goa, Oct. 25 -- The Additional Sessions Court in Mapusa has ordered the release of a 42-year-old Nigerian national from the Mapusa Detention Centre, quashing a previous magistrate's detention order. The court ruled that continued detention pending deportation was unjustified, as an ongoing NDPS case and conditional bail prohibit him from leaving India, delaying deportation. Represented by Adv. Ashwin Dalvi, the applicant must provide his permanent native address, local residence, and an active mobile or WhatsApp contact number that remains operational at all times.
