Criminal Court has scheduled opposition Jumhoory Party (JP) leader Gasim's Ibrahim trial at 11.30am on Thursday.
The business magnate faces three separate counts of attempted bribery and undue influence of a state official.
The trial was scheduled hours after the Maamigili lawmaker was freed by the High Court after the appellate court ruled that the business magnate was arrested in violence of due procedure.
Gasim who was taken into custody on Thursday was immediately freed following the ruling.
Police had arrested the seasoned lawmaker over allegations of attempting to bribe government MPs ahead of a censure vote against parliament speaker Abdulla Maseeh.
His legal team however had appealed his arrest saying that the now opposition JP leader had been detained in violation of his parliament privileges and immunity.
According to parliament rules of procedure, unless from a scene of crime, a lawmaker can only be arrested under a warrant from a superior court on direct request from the chief prosecutor.
