Various summons were issued against him, however, Abbas did not show up in the court. The MP-MLA court even extended the time of his arrest thrice, but on his repeated absence from court the Special ACJM of MPMLA Court Ambrish Srivastava declared Abbas ‘absconding’ by issuing 82 Criminal Procedure Code against him on the request of the police. The court also issued a notice to seize his property, a non-bailable warrant, and a lookout notice against him. Although Ansari applied for anticipatory bail, the court did not approve it. The court while rejecting the application said,

Considering serious allegations that the accused-applicant got registered his arms licence fraudulently and obtained prohibited barrels, weapons and cartridges in large numbers by taking the ground of shooting; and he has purchased weapons and cartridges, which are prohibited in shooting practice and against the Notification dated 4.8.2014 of the Government of India.”

And also considering the fact that accused-applicant has been avoiding the process of the court against whom proclamation has been issued, this court does not find any ground to grant anticipatory bail to the accused-applicant.”
