Jammu and Kashmir High Court in Mohammad Shahbaz Mir vs Union of India & Others (SWP No. 181/2016) observed that an employer is not expected to conduct an exhaustive search for an absconding employee, noting that sending communications to the employee’s residential address suffices. The Court highlighted that the enquiry officer had fulfilled this requirement by dispatching notices to the last known address of the employee. Consequently, the Court concluded that the principles of natural justice were not violated in this case. The judgment reaffirmed that such procedures are adequate to meet the fair hearing standards required.
