can a certified copy of sale deed be misused when original is safe

I am buying a flat and just wanted to cross check the documents (photo copy of sale deed) given by the seller, I approached a local lawyer and he asked me that he will verify the same and also provide me the certified copy of sale deed.

I just want to know can a middle man misuse the certified documents and what could be the severity of misuse of the certified copies if original is with the seller. What can i do to avoid misuse.

You can mention on the certified copy that this is ment only for obtaining legal opinion from lawyer. In absence of original the certified copy can not effect the title of the property. Your lawyer is justified in verifying the original  and definetly it  protect your interest.
