Prosecutor-General Johannes Tomana has been further remanded to 3 March, Bulawayo24.com has heard.
His defence team today said it is still to consult on way forward on his controversial arrest.
Tomana has landed himself in trouble after he allegedly sanctioned the dropping of criminal charges against two soldiers linked to an attempted bombing at President Robert Mugabe's dairy farm.
Tomana was granted $1 000 bail.
Last week, he made an application challenging his placement on remand arguing that as PG it is unconstitutional.
In the attached affidavit supporting the application Mr Tomana said his placement on remand is highly irregular and must be nullified retrospectively.
"Every minute that I remain on remand the Constitution suffers an unwarranted violation.
"That must be brought to an end. Those behind the process must STOP IT !!!!," read the affidavit.
