What efforts did you take to find out outcome of the case ?

As per your concern!

In the case of J.N. Gupta v. D.C. Singhania & J.K. Gupta, the respondent advocates had issued two advertisements in a newspaper; the first indicating a change of address on account of
fire in the building where they were practising, and
the second time for shifting back to the building where their old office was located.
Subsequently, they also published their name and address in the International Bar Directory under the headings "Singhania & Company”, “Firms Major Cases” and “Representative
Clients”.

The Court held that there was no violation of the rule against advertisement concerning publication in the newspaper as the same was made on account of the fire, which required urgent notice of change in address to be given to existing clients. About the publication in the International Bar Directory, it was held that publication in any manner, either in
National or International Bar Directory would not constitute a violation of Rule 36 if it is done to give information of address or telephone numbers of advocates.

However, in the instant case, it was found that the publication was made to give publicity to the fact that the law firm had dealt with important cases and had eminent client's. Hence, it was being used to advertise the firm itself.

Hope it is useful!
