If you think about your question, it will logically make sense. You are "grepping" for a name or word and at the time the ps and grep run, there are two process that contain the target word, the process itself and the grep command, hence they are both returned by the grep command.

If it really bothers you, you can add a second pipe to ignore the grep:

Code:
ps -ef| grep 'abc.sh'| grep -v grep

(author's note: boy, talk about a run on sentence. Smilie )

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename... DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code: (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked. EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified. AUTHOR
