Government lawyers are the public prosecutor who fights cases on behalf of state. So he will not get a lawyer from the state. However, being in custody he is entitled for free legal aid and advocate will be provided by District Legal Services Authority, free of cost .

Further, the lawyer will have to request the court for DNA test. 

With respect to other question, it depends on the facts and circumstances of the case  and  also on grounds which are taken in bail application for grant of  bail.

Being in custody he is entitled for free legal aid and advocate will be provided by District Legal Services Authority, free of cost . You can ask for DNA test if the same is not asked by the prosecution. Granting of bail is discretion of Hon'ble courts that has to b exercised by them under facts and circumstances but application for that has to be made before the court with sound reasonings .
