The guidelines suggested by the Court are as follows:

Advocates should follow ethical standards whenever the parties solicit their advice.
Advocates should never misguide the parties.
Advocates should never give unprofessional advice so as to implicate the persons who are not even remotely connected to the alleged occurrence.
Advocates should hear the client and try to advise to go for amicable settlement if possible, since it involves life of two individuals, more to say a family.
Advocates can get the help of qualified counsellor and get a report so as to give proper advice to the party.
Advocates should get the instructions from the client in writing as to the incidents alleged.
Advocates should dissuade the client from roping the persons who they feel are not in anyway even remotely connected to the alleged occurrence.
Advocates should inform the client about the legal consequences they would face if they give false complaint against the persons unconnected to the alleged incident.
Advocates should refrain from helping the party by informing the police to arrest the persons.
Advocates should play a neutral role and try their best to resolve the issues between husband's family and wife's family.
In case if the party is hell-bent on giving false complaint so as to make the opposite party surrender to her whims and fancies, the advocates can play a pro active role to send them away to have a rethink.
If any advocate does any thing unprofessional and unethical while drafting complaint or filing cases and if it comes to the notice of Bar Council, severe action is to be taken.
