High Court has directed a Margao trial court to reconsider a foreign national’s plea to relax his bail conditions after he remained in custody despite being granted bail in July 2025.Binay Sunuwar alias Yagya Bahadur Sunuwar, accused in a Canacona police case involving alleged possession of 1.79 grams of MDMA, had been unable to furnish a surety even after the bond amount was reduced to ₹10,000. The Court set aside the trial court’s rejection of his plea and allowed him 10 days to submit material explaining his difficulty in securing a surety. The trial court must decide the application afresh within 15 days of the High Court order.
