LAHORE: The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a review application seeking cancellation of bail to Malik Mohammad Ishaq, leader of a banned outfit, in the Sri Lankan team attack case.

A two-member bench comprising Justice Tassaduq Hussain Jillani and Justice Asif Saeed Khan Khosa was hearing the matter at Lahore Registry of the apex court.

Earlier, a division bench of the SC had granted bail to Ishaq in the attack case wherein he was accused of masterminding it while in prison.

The Punjab government had moved a review application before the apex court to cancel the bail. The bench, however, dismissed it today.

Ishaq was released on July 14, 2011, after being imprisoned in Kot Lakhpat jail for 14 years.
