Kuldeep Singh Pathania, the Speaker of the Himachal Pradesh Assembly, had disqualified the six upon the Congress' plea for "defying" the party whip, mandating their presence in the House and their vote for the budget.
A bench comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna, Dipankar Datta, and Prashant Kumar Mishra will hear the plea against the Speaker's February 29 decision.
In their petition before the apex court, the rebel lawmakers have named Pathania as well as state Parliamentary Affairs Minister Harsh Vardhan Chauhan as parties.
These Congress rebels, who supported BJP nominee Harsh Mahajan in the Rajya Sabha polls on February 27, subsequently "abstained" from voting on the Budget.
Senior Congress leader Abhishek Singhvi lost the Rajya Sabha election due to the cross-voting.
The disqualified MLAs include Rajinder Rana, Sudhir Sharma, Inder Dutt Lakhanpal, Devinder Kumar Bhutoo, Ravi Thakur, and Chetanya Sharma.
