The Sharad Pawar group had filed petitions before the Speaker Narwekar seeking disqualification of 40 MLAs for anti-party.
Arvind Sawant demanded rebel MLAs' disqualification along with the new Assembly Speaker, Rahul Narvekar.
Riding high on the success of a 'truce' between Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and rebel leader Sachin Pilot, the Congress government is confident of winning the trust vote.
In a boost for the Ashok Gehlot government, the Supreme Court had on Thursday refused to grant any interim relief on a plea of a BJP MLA seeking a stay on the Rajasthan Speaker's decision that had allowed the merger of six BSP MLAs with the Congress last year.
The breakthrough, which had threatened the Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government in the state, followed after Pilot met top party leaders Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi earlier on Monday.
Following the meeting, Sonia Gandhi decided to constitute a three-member committee to look after the grievances of sulking Congress leader Sachin Pilot.
On Thursday, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot had, in a latest taunt on Sachin Pilot camp and the BJP, said horse-trading rates in Rajasthan have gone higher as new rates have been announced soon after the Assembly session date was finalised.
Earlier on Monday, Speaker CP Joshi had dropped his plea in the Supreme Court, against the High Court order asking him to defer his decision on disqualification notices issued to former Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot and 18 rebel Congress MLAs.
Earlier on Wednesday, Governor Kalraj Mishra had snubbed Ashok Gehlot's demand for Assembly session from Friday and returned the third proposal send by the ruling Congress government in Rajasthan.
