You are not clear with facts
One cannot be losing promotion for being on any kind of leave. The only effect could be that financial effect will accrue on joining.
It sounds unsual that one being on medical leave for four years.
Please be clear :-
whether the leave was sanctioned?
whether you have joined after leave?

You need to serve a legal notice to the department and thereafter to file a petition before CAT as your legitimate right of permotion cannot be ignored and your junior cannot sup recede you on the basis of your absence from duty due to medical sanctioned leave.

The seniority may be protected if it was a sanctioned and paid leave.
The long leave on medical grounds should not affect your promotion opportunities.
You can give a written representation to the competent authority to consider your promotion for which you became eligible whereas not granted due to your long medical leave.
If your request is not considered then you may plan to approach appropriate legal forum to get your grievances redressed.

You should submit written request through proper channel to providing you, your seniority and hence promotion. In case no result may move as advised by the expert Raj Kumar Makkad ji.
You have not mentioned, whether leaves were sanctioned with any loss of pay or full pay was paid to you?

Loss of pay and also penalty of loosing of 3 increments

Since the leave was sanctioned on loss of pay, penalty for loss of 3 increments was also slapped, the order may be containing reference regarding your seniority loss and conditions on which the leaves were sanctioned..
It seems the leaves were not sanctioned in normal course.
Please disclose all material facts.
