Lawyer absconding

Wait until the lawyer returns or look for an alternative evidence

But Sarveshji Habeous Corpus Petition against whom?

The Lawyer is not in the custody of the State! Infact the State itself is looking for him

Can the accused request the concerned Trial Court to wait or keep in abeyance the proceedings till the Lawyer returns?

If the Trail Court does not stop the proceedings the accused is put to a situation of denial of his defence due to his papers being with so called Officer of the Court (The Lawyer) whose vakalatnama is on records with the Court!

Please answer my question looking to this fact  that the accused is not being given the valuable Right to Defend for no fault of his

Ashok Kumarji is right.

The fact that the lawyer is not traceable can be brought to the notice of the court. The court will ask you to file a written application and may direct the police to trace the lawyer and if the lawyer is not traceable to produce the documents which are holding back the case. 

Habeas Corpus Petition  in this case stands no ground  as the police is already on lookout for the lawyer and the police is already doing its duty. But if it is brought to the notice of the court, the court may direct the police to make an extra effort to locate the lawyer. 

Further you can lodge an application with the bar council against the lawyer.
