Color is like hat of *T. oblonga* but shape and size of petals are not. http://www.orchidshome.com/gallery/trias/#6 The flower size and shape of petals and lower lip is very much like T. stocksii.
No other species listed by Pankaj matches the pictures of Neil ji. Neil ji, Please look for more *Trias *on other trees and see whether they also possess the same flowers or different. I, now, think some modification of *Trias stocksii*. Even then, it would be quite interesting since you can multiply this species asexually. Is there *Trias oblonga* nearby areas?
