The Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court on Friday reserved its order on the anticipatory bail plea of mafia-turned politician Mukhtar Ansari's MLA son Abbas Ansari in connection with an arms licence case.
The bail plea is being heard in the court of Justice D K Singh.
Moving the plea, Abbas had said he was innocent and victimised due to political vendetta.
Opposing the plea, the state counsel argued that the arms and cartridges recovered from him were made of metal, and metallic items are not used in sports.
The special MP-MLA Court on August 24 had declared him an absconder in the case.
