State commissioners of Egypt's administrative court recommended rejecting a case to oust President Mohamed Mursi, saying that it does not fall under the legal jurisdiction of the State Council on Wednesday.

A lawsuit had been filed demanding the dismissal of Mursi from his presidential post on the basis that “he did not commit to his sworn vows of maintaining the country’s stability and security during crisis.”

The commissioners’ report said that the House of Representatives (parliament) is the only entity that can take legal action against the president. It added that the constitution does not stipulate grounds for presidential impeachment.  

Recommendations of the State Commissioners Authority, a government-run consultative judicial body, are non-binding.
