The only ones who can check are you and your Splunk admins.
Has the user in question checked the time zone setting on his Splunk account?

@abilashselvan You didn't answer my question. Has the user in question checked the time zone setting on his Splunk account?
What are the props.conf settings for that sourcetype?
Is it possible the data source changed to Daylight Saving Time and the Splunk server has not?
