Egypt's Administrative Court decided Wednesday to consider an appeal submitted to challenge a previous ruling suspending the parliamentary elections on Sunday.

The appeal was submitted against Administrative Court's ruling issued last week to suspend a decree by President Mohamed Morsi to hold the parliamentary polls on April 22 and refer 14 lawsuits against the constitutionality of elections law to the Supreme Constitutional Court.

The administrative court stressed that the Shura Council, the country's temporary legislative authority, didn't fully abide by the amendments required by the Supreme Constitutional Court, and didn't refer the new amendments to the court anew before approved by the president.

On Feb. 18, the Constitutional Court rejected the controversial parliamentary elections law submitted by the Shura Council (upper house of the parliament).

Then, the court referred the proposed law to the Shura Council anew for being amended due to the unconstitutionality of some articles pertaining to the quota of workers and the fair representation of electoral districts.

Three days later, the Shura council endorsed the amendments submitted by the constitutional court and referred the law to Morsi for approval.

Morsi then called for holding elections on April 22 over four stages.
