O R D E R
The petitioner, by way of present special leave petition, has preferred a prayer for anticipatory bail.
2 Mr. Rishi Kumar Awasthi, learned counsel for the respondent-State has vehemently opposed this prayer. Taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner has been granted interim protection by this Court on 04.11.2022 and there is no allegation that he did not cooperate with the investigation, we are inclined to confirm the interim protection granted by this Court on 04.11.2022.

The special leave petition is, accordingly, disposed of.
Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of.
