Peter Shanel Agovaka has been charged with one count of assault causing actual bodily harm.
Mr Agovaka was re-elected the MP for Central Guadalcanal earlier this month.
He sought to have the case quashed but was denied by the Court of Appeal last week.
The Solomon Star newspaper reported Principal Magistrate Fatima Taeburi would deliver the judgement at the Honiara Magistrates Court on Thursday.
