The Prosecutor General, Mr Johannes Tomana has filed an application challenging his placement on remand, saying those prosecuting him have no authority to do so.
Tomana, who was back in court for his routine remand, argued through his legal representative that under the constitution of Zimbabwe, the Prosecutor General is the one who gives authority to prosecute.
The state is expected to file its response this Wednesday.
Tomana is facing charges of abuse of office after ordering the release of two people implicated in the attempted bombing of the Gushungo Dairy farm.
Meanwhile, Harare Provincial Magistrate, Vakai Chikwekwe has disregarded a high court order that barred the media from covering the story of the suspect accused of attempting to bomb Gushungo Dairy farm.
The order was granted by High Court judge, Justice Lavender Makoni after the military intelligence officer filed an application seeking the case to be held in camera.
The order was presented by Mr Taurai Mandiki, who is representing Solomon Makunde and Silas Pfupa.
In her ruling, Mr Chikwekwe said the lower court has constitutional rights to independence and any direction from other courts is tantamount to interference and usurping the powers of the magistrate’s court.
The case has been remanded to 1 March.-State Media
