Apar downgradation by reviewing officer without informing the employee

Go through exact wording as that 15days is fixed for sending your representation or specifically stated that they have to receive and stress that as per rules you have submitted representation and it is against principles of natural justice to decide on an issue without hearing the employee.

stand of HR is not correct.

even you action was also not correct.  You wshould have submitted representation to authrity higher than appointing authroity directly.  Anyway HR Deptt is correcting your mistake.

In response to your query,

If your demotion was unjustified, you may be entitled to file a complaint with your concerned authorities. You could try informing your Human Resources department about what happened. If you believe your downgrading was caused by harassment, discrimination, retribution, or unfair treatment, you can file a written complaint.

And as you mentioned that you submitted your representation within the time limit therefore you have a strong case on your side as you were punctual with your work and the time limit was for submission and not receiving by the office.
