VSDK:  Would somebody be kind enough to explain to me what the appeal in the budget means? Is it an adjustment to the numbers or something like that?  
....



2BERDS:  VSDK When the budget was voted some months ago there were additional amendments that were added to the budget that were illegal. The way that Abadi decided to deal with that was to have it brought through the court system. IMO it is not dealing with the numbers that the GOI had in the budget, but only the amendments that were added to the budget.
