HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE BISWAJIT PALIT Order
02.02.2026
Heard learned counsel Mr. Koomar Chakraborty,
appearing on behalf of the petitioners.
It is the case of the petitioners that they were posted
as CDPO in different offices under the Social Welfare & Social
Education Department, Government of Tripura. But in pursuance
to the notification dated 22.06.2021 (Annexure-4) all the
petitioners have been given ad-hoc promotion subject to decision
of the SLP pending before the Supreme Court to the post of TCS,
Grade-II but thereafter, when the petitioners could realize that no
financial benefits and other benefits will be available to them, so
they opted for reversion back to their original place of posting.
Accordingly, their prayers were allowed.
In the meantime, the Government of Tripura by
another notification dated 01.12.2025(Annexure-10) has
confirmed the said policy dated 22.06.2021 and as such the
petitioners prays before this Court for their promotion to the TCS
Cadre. In this regard a representation was submitted but the
respondent authority by a communication dated 07.11.2025
(Annexure-9) has turned down the representation of the
petitioners, which compelled the petitioners to file this writ
petition before this Court.
Learned counsel Mr. Kundan Pandey, appears on behalf
of the respondent No.03 and prays before this Court to allowing
the said respondent to file counter affidavit.
Request is accordingly considered.
Learned GA Mr. Kohinoor N Bhattachariyya, appears on
behalf of the respondents No.1 & 2 and accepts notice on behalf of
the said respondents. Formal notice is thus waived.
It is further submitted by learned GA that scope may
be given to said respondents to file their counter.
Request is considered.
All the respondents are at liberty to file their counter
affidavit, by supplying copy to the other side, on or before the
next date.
List the matter on 08.04.2026.
