Section 5A of the Act. On a careful perusal of records, it reveals that pursuant to the order passed by this Court, the respondents issued notice to the original petitioner and fixed the 5A enquiry on 18.05.2004 and 24.05.2004 and the petitioner has also filed his objections. While so, the original petitioner filed another writ petition before this Court in W.P. No.18818 of 2004 and ultimately, this Court dismissed the writ petition as withdrawn, granting liberty to the petitioner to participate in the 5A enquiry proceedings and also to submit his objections. As per the directions of this Court, the respondents have fixed the date of enquiry under Section 5A on 25.01.2010 and communicated the same to the petitioner. In response to the said notice, which was received by the original petitioner on 22.01.2010, he has also sent the objections on 01.02.2010. That being so, a perusal of impugned order reveals that the respondent without considering the objections filed by the original petitioner, though the same is available on record, rejected the same stating the reason as belated submission i.e., beyond the time limit prescribed under the Act, taking into account the initial notification. In the instant case, it has to be noted that the period starts from only 13.01.2010, the date of notice for 5-A enquiry and not from the period of initial notification. In support of the stand, it is relevant to quote the decision of the Hon'ble Full Bench of this Court, particularly paragraph No.12, which reads as follows :-
