HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE BISWAJIT PALIT
Order
18.02.2026
Heard Mr. Hillol Laskar, learned counsel appearing for
the petitioner.
It is the case of the petitioner that the petitioner
initially joined in the office of Tripura Renewable Energy
Development Agency (TRADA) through an interview on
16.06.1999 as Junior Engineer. Thereafter, in course of
discharging duties the department on 31.03.2007 (Annexure-1)
released one seniority list wherein the name of the petitioner was
shown to be in serial No.1. After that on 10.02.2009 (Annexure-2)
final seniority list was released by the department wherein the
petitioner has been shown to be at serial No.3 and the respondent
No.3 is shown to be in serial No.2.
In the year 2012 by an office order dated 28.08.2012
(Annexure-5) the respondent No.3 being junior to the petitioner
was given promotion to the post of Project Officer and after a long
period the petitioner was given promotion to the post of Project
Officer by another office order dated 08.12.2021 (Annexure-6)
ignoring his seniority, resulting which the petitioner is deprived
and furthermore, it is apprehension of the petitioner that the
department again may deprive him and there is every possibility
that the respondent No.3 may be promoted to the post of Project
Director depriving him again. As such, the petitioner has filed this
writ petition for not considering his representation submitted on
28.04.2007, 03.03.2009, 23.12.2025 and lastly on 30.12.2025.
Learned Addl. GA Mr. K De, appears on behalf of the
respondent No.1 and accepts notice for the said respondent. Thus
formal notice on behalf of the said respondent has been waived.
The petitioner is to take steps for service of notice upon
the respondents No.2 & 3 both by normal process and registered
post with A/D or speed post within a week from today and file
proof of service.
List the matter on 01.04.2026.
