4. Considering the allegations made in the FIR, the role attributed to
the applicant, the fact that an enquiry has been conducted, the amount
alleged to have been misappropriated has been deposited, and the entire
record has been seized by the Investigating Officer, the applicant has prima
facie made out a case for grant of interim protection. Therefore, I am
inclined to grant interim protection to the applicant. Hence, the following
order:
