Goa, Oct. 24 -- The Mapusa Sessions Court has overturned a magistrate's order directing the detention of a Nigerian national pending deportation, ruling that continued detention despite conditional bail and a travel ban violates Article 21 of the Constitution of India, which guarantees the right to life and personal liberty.

The court's decision highlights the constitutional safeguards governing personal liberty and the need for detention measures to comply with the law, even in cases involving foreign nationals facing deportation proceedings.
