Checked out files are edited locally on the machine, not on the server. So the only place they are located is on the workstation. Unless the user was nice enough to shelve the changes.

Earlier we were using the btgrab command for grabing the other person change just based on pending changelist number in Windows version of perforce. Unfortunately i don't have that script now.

Do you have access to their workstation? If so, you can grab the files they were working on. Unless they submitted or shelved their changes, the only copy of their work-in-progress is sitting on their workstation.
