Colva: The additional sessions court allowed a Portuguese national arrested in a narcotics case in 2019 to travel to Portugal and directed that his passport be handed over to him.Additional sessions judge Ram S Prabhu Dessai granted the application filed by Antonio Manuel Faria Ramos, noting that the prosecution has examined only two witnesses so far and that Ramos has regularly attended court hearings since being granted bail in Jan 2025.The judge observed that there was no material on record to show that Ramos had violated any bail condition or misused the liberty granted to him.In his application, Ramos submitted that he had no source of income in Goa and was living in impoverished circumstances, dependent on financial support from his parents. He sought permission to travel to Portugal to reside there.The court directed Ramos to furnish his complete residential address in Portugal, along with other relevant details, including his contact information.
