''If any money has been misappropriated by an employee who dies during the pendency of inquiry, we cannot say that monetary liability arises thereto cannot be determined even after the death of the delinquent employee, the employer should have the liberty to assess such financial liability which is to be recoverable out of the amounts due to the deceased employee on notice being given to the concerned heirs and i.e. the only way by which the proceedings can be concluded. The respondents must co-operate with the appellants in the enquiry to enable in establishing guilt or innocence of the deceased employee and the charge against him. On conclusion of such Inquiry, though no action can be taken against the deceased, still his monetary liability can be determined. In taking such action, the appellant will have to take into consideration the question of amount misappropriated by the deceased employee, the time lapse between the date of misappropriation and the enquiry and the fact that the deceased employee is no longer available to defend himself and such other factors. If they come to the conclusion that still the proceedings should be continued to recover the amount from out of the amounts due to the said deceased employee, such steps will have to be taken. Otherwise, any action taken by the appellants can be criticised as one done arbitrarily without applying the principles of natural justice. Therefore, we direct the respondents to Inquire into the matter before making any deductions out of the Provident Fund, Gratuity or any other amounts due to the deceased employee appropriately one way or the other after issuing notice to the respondents. If a finding is recorded that there is any monetary liability as-far-as the deceased employee is concerned, appropriate deductions can be made from the amounts payable to the respondents otherwise the amounts due to the deceased employee will have to be disbursed to the respondents.''
