2. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Advocate(Crl.Side).

3. It is the case of the prosecution that the defacto complainant and his son are involved in the business of selling second hand cars and that on 17.03.2015, four persons came and said that they wanted to buy a Volkswagan car and wanted to drive the car before buying and therefore, the defacto complainant's son accompanied them and after some time, the defacto complainant's son gave a phone call to the defacto complainant over mobile and told him that he has been abducted by this petitioner's men in order to recover some amount that is due from the defacto complainant to the petitioner and later the defacto complainant's son was found in Aranthangi and he returned with Volkswagan car.

4. During the course of investigation, the defacto complainant's son was giving conflicting versions and was not cogently stating the facts. There appears to be some doubt in the version of the defacto complainant's son. Under these circumstances, this Court is of the view that this is a fit case to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
