Egypt’s highest appeals court rebuffed parliament’s request to examine a constitutional court ruling that dissolved the Islamist-led assembly.
The Court of Cassation unanimously ruled today it has no jurisdiction over the implementation of last month’s ruling, the state-run Middle East News Agency reported. The verdict had prompted the military to dissolve parliament and retain legislative powers before Mohamed Mursi won the country’s presidential election.
