Paricharak, a BJP-backed MLC, was suspended from the Council in March last year after he joked about the wives of soldiers during an election campaign. He later apologised, and the government last week revoked the suspension.
Council chairman Nimbalkar today asked Parliamentary Affairs Minister Girish Bapat to convey it to Paricharak that he should not attend the proceedings, till Nimbalkar does not give ruling on the second resolution moved by Anil Parab (Shiv Sena).
Parab demanded that Paricharak should not be allowed to step into the House till the motion is decided.
The Council chairman, citing rules, said a second motion cannot be moved on the same matter within a year of the house voting and adopting the earlier motion.

He will give ruling on the second motion as Parab has argued that he had changed the tenor of his motion, Nimbalkar said.
The Shiv Sena demanded Paricharak's expulsion from the Legislative Council. Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik sought to know government's stand on the issue.
Speaker Haribhau Bagde said Paricharak was not a member of the Lower House, and there was no need to discuss proceedings of the Upper House in the Assembly.
But senior Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan supported the Sena's stand, saying Paricharak's controversial remarks hadn't been made in the Legislature.
"There is severe resentment among people about what Paricharak had said....We want to know the government's stand on the demand to expel him from Council," Chavan said. Jayant Patil of NCP too demanded that the government put forth its stand.
The Speaker asked Bapatto make a statement. Bapat said he would do so before the day's proceedings ended.
Sena, Congress and NCP MLAs rushed into the well, shouting slogans against Paricharak. The Speaker then adjourned the House for 15 minutes.
After the House reassembled, Prabhu reiterated his party's stand.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis told the Assembly that he was of the view that action should be taken against such wrongand condemnable comments.
Not satisfied, Sena MLAs walked out.
State revenue and PWD minister Chandrakant Patil told PTI that Paricharak's suspension for one year was sufficient.
"We do not support Paricharak's comments, but we think that one-year suspension is sufficient for a legislature...Hence, the motion was moved to revoke his suspension," Patil told PTI.
