Egypt’s  Supreme Administrative Court (SAC) has postponed its verdict on appeals against the suspension of parliamentary elections until 7 April. The verdict was delayed to enable the presidency, the head of the Shura Council, and the justice ministry time to show they authorized the Egyptian State Lawsuit Authority to submit the appeal on their behalf. The verdict was initially set to come out on March 17 but was postponed. On March 6, the Supreme Administrative Court overturned a presidential decree calling for parliamentary elections to beheld on April 22, questioning the constitutionality of the electoral law. The High Constitutional Court (HCC) rejected five of the electoral law's articles on  February 18. The law was referred back to the Shura Council, which partially amended the legislation without referring it back to the HCC for final approval. President Mohamed Morsi then issued a decree stating that parliamentary polls will be held in late April.
