Advocate Mudenda told reporters that he will deliver a ruling next week in parliament on the fate of the two members representing the revolutionary party in the National Assembly.
Mutasa, who represents Headlands and Mliswa, who is Hurungwe West legislator were expelled from Zanu-PF two weeks ago.
The party then wrote to the Speaker of Parliament informing the National Assembly that Mutasa and Mliswa's seats should be declared vacant.
