However, the Kejriwal government has maintained that these 21 parliamentary secretaries do not hold an 'office of profit'.
Sharma has submitted his report on September 22 to EC on facilities extended to 21 AAP legislators being parliamentary secretaries.
As per the report, Public Works Department (PWD) spent Rs 11,75,828 on 21 Executive chairs-Tables, 136 Visitors chairs for 21 Rooms allotted in Delhi Assembly for Parliamentary Secretaries while the Assembly had approved Rs 13,26,300 for this purpose.
It further stated that various rooms were also allotted to MLAs in various government bodies' offices.
On September 8, Delhi High Court had set aside the Delhi government order appointing 21 AAP MLAs as parliamentary secretaries on the ground that it was issued without the concurrence of the Lieutenant Governor (LG).
The detailed report of the Chief Secretary comes after he had sought details from over 100 departments of Delhi government to submit their reports on extending facilities to 21 Parliamentary secretaries.
