In last week’s appeal, the state government made a last-minute intervention in the Federal AG’s appeal against the High Court decision to allow SLS to challenge the federal government’s nonpayment of the 40 per cent Special Grant to the state as per Article 112C and 112D of the Federal Constitution.

“The Court of Appeal was informed that Messrs.
