CAIRO, Nov. 12 (Xinhua) -- Egypt's Cabinet spokesman announced on Tuesday that the Cabinet is committed to implementing a judicial ruling on ending the state of emergency in Egypt, official news agency MENA reported.
The spokesman's statement is in light of a court ruling ordering end to the state of emergency on Tuesday instead of the previously announced date set on Thursday by the cabinet.
The court rulings should be implemented with no argument, MENA quoted the spokesman as saying.
The Egyptian cabinet is waiting for the text of a court ruling ending the state of emergency in Egypt, said an official source with the cabinet on Tuesday, MENA reported.
The Administrative Justice Court issued a ruling earlier in the day ordering an end to the state of emergency as of Tuesday.
Egypt's interim government announced a state of emergency and a nightly curfew on Aug. 14 when security forces dispersed two sit- ins by supporters of ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in Cairo and Giza governorates.
