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.
After Congress MLAs loyal to Gehlot on Friday held a five-hour sit-in at the Raj Bhawan to press for an assembly session, the governor assured that he will go by the constitutional provisions on summoning an assembly session.
Since the Governor has not responded to the plea, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said he and the Congress MLAs supporting him will directly make a collective request.
In a petition filed on Wednesday, Congress MLA Prithviraj Meena sought the Centre to be impleaded in the ongoing case filed by the Pilot camp challenging Para 2 (1) (a) of the Schedule X of the Constitution.
In a mini victory for Sachin Pilot and his loyalist MLAs, the apex court on Thursday refused to interfere with the Rajasthan High Court hearing the plea of the dissident Congress legislators on Friday, saying that 'the voice of dissent in a democracy cannot be suppressed'.
Speaker Joshi had told the Supreme Court that the Rajasthan High Court cannot restrain him from initiating disqualification proceedings against Sachin Pilot and the dissident legislators till July 24.
