Lawyer absconding-now in jail-how to meet?

Lawyer Absconding-Now in Jail-How to meet?

 

In a criminal case, the Lawyer of the accused himself absconded due to his impending arrest due to his alleged involvement in a criminal case! The case against the accused is slated for prosecution evidence (The evidence has not yet begun). Meanwhile the Lawyer surrenders and is in JC. The accused wants to meet this Lawyer only face to face for discussing his case, as the Lawyer is well versed with the subject matter. The Jail authorities permit only a normal meet across the Jail Net/Grill Fencing across which no documents can be seen or read or discussed

 

1.How can the accused meet his Lawyer?

2.Can an application be made before the trial court to direct the Jail authorities to allow the meeting face to face for 2 hours to discuss his case? If yes, what is the relevant provision in the CrPC under which he can pray to the Court ?

3.Can the accused pray to the Court to direct the Jail authorities to bring his Lawyer from the Jail for appearance in his case?
