Pakistan Legal Practitioners and Bar Councils Rules, 1976 — section 164

164. Publications in newspaper by an advocate as to pending or anticipated litigation may interfere with a fair trial in the courts and otherwise prejudice the due administration of justice. Generally they are to be condemned. If the extreme circumstances of a particular case justify a statement or reference to the facts should not reach the public, it is unprofessional to make them anonymously. An ex-parte reference to the facts should not go beyond quotation from the records and papers on file in the Court but even in extreme cases it is better to avoid any ex-parte statement.
