Both orders to immediately free them were served on police but ignored, he said.
Police and state officials in Zimbabwe, including Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa, have frequently ignored court orders and although contempt of court proceedings have been filed, none has been concluded.
Attorneys, human rights activists and independent journalists have been accused of backing a Western campaign led by Britain, the former colonial power, for the ouster of Mugabe, 83, who has ruled since independence in 1980.
The government claims the opposition Movement for Democratic Change mounted a Western-backed campaign of terror and subversion that included a series of 11 gasoline bombings, charges the opposition denies.
At one court hearing, Muchadehama submitted that his clients could not have committed one bombing cited by the state because they were already in jail at the time.
Opposition leaders insist the bombings were orchestrated by state agents to justify the arrests and assault of activists and clear the way for the possible imposition of a sweeping state of emergency as the nation faces deepening political and economic turmoil.
Meanwhile, Ghanaian President John Kufuor, who is also chairman of the African Union, expressed concern about the crisis in Zimbabwe before a meeting with South African President Thabo Mbeki, the South African Press Association reported on Tuesday.
