Senior Resident Magistrate Martin Chipofya has reserved bail application ruling for businessperson Abdul Karim Batatawala to tomorrow.
The development means Batatawala will spend a night in police cell.
Before bail hearing, the court charged Batatawala with two counts of money laundering and defrauding the Department of Immigration Services.
Batatawala was arrested last week in relation to suspected corrupt practices in procurement contracts of uniforms and other accessories at the Department of Immigration and Citizenship Services between 2009 and 2012.
Last week the court failed to hear the case after it was reported that Batatawala was not feeling well and was admitted at Shifa Private Hospital in the city.
