The Court of Cassation decided on Thursday to postpone till April 7 the retrial of former president Hosni Mubarak over killing of peaceful protesters during January revolution.
This is the second and final retrial for Mubarak in the case.
The postponement came till necessary measures are taken to move the retrial to a more suitable location.
Mubarak, 87, was originally sentenced to life in prison in 2012 for conspiring to murder peaceful protesters and creating a security vacuum during an 18-day revolt which began in January 2011, but a retrial was ordered upon an appeal.
In that retrial, an Egyptian court in November dropped its case against him but public prosecutors appealed.
The retrial is being held for Mubarak alone as the other defendants who stood in the first trial, including former interior minister Habid Adly and his six security aides, were all cleared of charges.
