| The Federal Court of Australia dismissed an appeal by government lawyers against a judge's decision to restore Mohamed Haneef's visa.
Ex-Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews revoked the former Gold Coast Hospital registrar's visa on character grounds.
Dr Haneef was accused of links with failed attacks in London and Glasgow.
The decision by the former immigration minister to cancel the Indian doctor's visa was quashed by a federal court judge in August.
Second government defeat
Government lawyers then appealed the decision to the full bench of the court but lost the case on Friday morning
The BBC's Phil Mercer in Sydney says it is still not clear if Dr Haneef will be able to reclaim his work permit as the government still has the option of appealing to the High Court of Australia.
Dr Haneef was arrested on 2 July at Brisbane International Airport and held for several days before being charged with giving "reckless support" to terrorism.
