Obviously, the matter is already pending in the CAT. If pleadings are completed, file a Miscellaneous Petition for expeditious hearing.

For seniority clarification consult your association people or some senior HR person and in case of any anomaly proceed legally after representing to your department.
Ask your lawyer to prey for early hearing.
