The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed petitions by five convicts of the 1993 Mumbai blasts case seeking review of its verdict. A bench of justices P Sathasivam and B S Chauhanthe said there was no merit in the review petitions.

The review petition was filed by Zaibunisa Anwar Kazi, Kersi Bapuji Adajania, Yusuf Khan @ Kayum Kasam Khan, Ranjit Kumar Singh and Altaf Ali Sayed whose conviction was upheld by the apex court on March 21.

Earlier, the apex court also turned down the plea of Kazi and two other convicts Issaq Mohd Hajwane and Shariff Abdul Gafoor Parker seeking extension of time to surrender on the ground that their clemency pleas are pending before President Pranab Mukherjee.
