Goldilocks, the farmer (who I do not believe is dati) didn’t ask questions, he asked the supreme court (a body that believes it is the true government of Israel) to ORDER the Rabbanut to declare this a leap year. The Rabbanut of course has no authority to do that even if it wanted to. In addition, I believe that it is completely assur for a Rov to take orders from any government entity on how to pasken.
