The former Shropshire doctor cleared of involvement in the London and Glasgow car bomb plot will face a special tribunal this year to decide if he will be allowed to stay in the UK.

Mohammed Asha, 28, who worked at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital until August 2006, faces deportation after his migrant programme visa expired while he was on remand.

He faces a hearing in front of the Special Immigration Appeals Commission in London, which is scheduled to start on October 5.

Dr Asha, who is now on bail, was released on January 16 this year.

He accused the Government of “sour grapes” when he was not released from prison despite being cleared of conspiracy to murder and to cause explosions following a trial at Woolwich Crown Court last year.

His co-accused Bilal Abdulla, 29, was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.

A three-man panel at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission rejected Home Office claims that Dr Asha presented a threat to national security.

After the hearing, Dr Asha asked for his hearing to be scheduled as soon as possible before August so he could start a new job with a clean state.

But he will now have to wait until October.

He was told to live at an address in Birmingham and report to a police station every week.

But Dr Asha does not have a curfew or electronic tagging order.

Previously his solicitor Tayab Ali has said the father-of-one is determined to return to the profession he loves.
