1. For filing writ petition there is no time limit but the time of invoking the writ jurisdiction should be reasonable from the date of cause of action.
2.The official can file the writ petition in the High Court in Calcutta if his employer has got any of its office here.
3.Without knowing the fact of the case it is difficult to state the condition but any material irregularity committed by the department or violation of the legal right of the petitioner will be sufficient condition for filing writ.

Nothing to add, as Barman has stated correctly.
