Very simple. Not only it watrents cancalaction of liences of lawyers involved but also register a case of abatement against all the involved persons. Declare the accused abscoder. Assembly to promulgate a law that appeal against the lower court bail rejection will not be etertained for an absconder. But who will bell the cat?
