An advocate is a person who by profession pleads for another or conducts a case in a court of law. He is a person lawfully admitted to practice and his duty is to advise his client and to act for him in the Court. Advocate means an advocate entered in the roll under the provisions of this order.

( Article 2(a), the Legal Practitioners and Bar Council Order, 1972 (P.O. 46 of 1972); section 2(a), the General Clauses Act, 1897 (Act X of 1897) )

Advocate, used with reference to any proceeding in any Court, means an advocate or a mukhtar authorized under any law for the time being in force to practice in any such court and includes any other person appointed with the permission of the Court to act in such proceeding.

( Section 4(a), the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898 (Act V of 1898) )

An Advocate has every right to represent his client and protect his interests by filing an appeal before the appellate forum, but he cannot, while the appeal is pending, ascribing something, by publishing a news report in his capacity as a Court reporter, which is not in the judgment.

( M. Saleem Ullah Vs. The State, 13 BLD (AD) 3 )

Advocates are responsible to the Court for fair and honest conduct of the case and should exercise great care and caution in drafting and pleading in court an application which contains allegations reflecting upon the integrity of the court.
