Biti’s case: Judgment reserved

High Court judge Justice Chinembiri Bhunu on Wednesday reserved judgment indefinitely in an urgent chamber application by Finance minister Tendai Biti seeking an order barring the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) from accessing his mobile phone information from Econet.

Chief law officer Chris Mutangadura who represented ZRP, opposed Biti’s application arguing the police were entitled to access any information during investigations.

“Police cannot be stopped to investigate anyone whether there is a right to privacy or not,” said Mutangadura soon after emerging from the judge’s chambers.
