The grievance of the applicants is that the respondents are nor granting them the benefits of "equal pay for equal work" and benefits which are given to the other contractual employees as also that they are being denied the benefit of leave (medical leave and paternity leave), Health Card Facility, Bonus, LTC and other benefits like child fees, gratuity etc. Similarly, the applicants are being denied dearness allowance also. It is stated that discrimination is manifest from the fact that other contractual employees working in various departments under respondent no.1 i.e. GNCTD are being provided all the benefits. In this regard, the applicants have annexed Annexure `D', salary slip of one O.T. (Tech.) Shri Neyaz Ahmed, who is also on contract basis, from which it would be seen that he is drawing D.A., House Rent Allowance, Travelling Allowance and Washing Allowance apart from Basic Pay and Grade Pay. It is further added that respondents themselves have been recommending the contract faculty in the ITIs under respondent no.2 i.e. the Secretary, DTTE to be paid consolidated emoluments equivalent to the total salary paid to a fresh Instructor in the scale on regular appointment. In support of this, the applicants have annexed Annexure 'E', which is copy of minutes of the meeting with Principal Secretaries/ Secretaries of States held on 10.11.2009, in which the following is recorded:
