Justice Manmohan Singh gave the order after he was informed that the police had visited the former Army officer's residence here many times since the court's June 6 order to it to impound his gun, but he was not available in his house.
In a status report to the court, police said other members of his family, including his son, had told it that he has gone to Dehradun in Uttarakhand but has not returned as yet.
The police also told the court that the DCP Licensing has issued show cause notice to the officer on June 16 after the court issued orders for impounding his weapon.
The high court had earlier asked the station house officer of the Chitranjan Park police station to provide protection to the woman as and when she seeks it, while asking the police to impound her husband's weapon.
The court had passed the order on the woman's plea, filed through counsel Nipun Bhardwaj, for protection from her husband. In her plea, she had said her husband, a retired Indian Army captain, often threatened her with his .32 bore revolver.
She had also sought cancellation of her husband's license for the weapon.
Appearing for the woman, Bhardwaj told the court that out of fear, his client has left her house in C R Park, which is in the name of both the husband and the wife, and was staying at her relative's house in Kalkaji.
Married in 1990, the couple have two children but due to differences, the husband began harassing and threatening to kill her with his revolver, said the woman's petition.
The petitioner claimed she had lodged a complaint with DCP Licensing and also with the Crime Against Woman (CAW) Cell against her husband but no action was taken so far.
