lawyer has to understand the case entirely for that he has to collect as much information he can in regards to that case . so that he can fight that case.

sir i understand that thing but sir my question is they have power to invetigate the case as police officer do or they just they can inquiry
Adv. Nikhil Seth (legal consultant (9867264707)) 30 August 2012
they can only inquire but dont have any particular power to investigate a case. .Investigaton can be done by police authoritiies or people who have been given such power .

In your question itself you are mentioning police officer, then I don't know why you are asking such a question , But as for as civil cases concerns the advocate may be appointed as commissioner to know the truth of the case. As for as criminal case concern, it is much different

Lawyers have no Power to Investigate any case as Police Officer
They can only represent a party in a Court of Law and except for this they are just as ordinary a cirtizen as you and me
To represent a person teh Lawyers can make enquiries about the issues realted to the case but they do not enjoy any special Powers to make such enquiries and they will do that only under teh General Rules available to any other citizen (However in practice, teh Govt Employees, Officers, Police etc willl not play foul with teh lawyers and will provide them the same information with much more ease as comapred to an ordinary citizen "Jiske ghode khul jaate hain ek thodi see jankaar lene mein"
However in practice the Lawyers enjoy lot of Social Powers and Status which are not available to an ordinary person
For Example
No one will eaasily get into a quarrel with a lawyer easily unless the Lawyer has done something extremely serious
"Lawyers Se Koi jadli panga nahi leta hai aur bach ke chalne me hi bhalai saamajhta hai"
With the sticker of Lawyer on the car soem parking people will not even charge teh parking fee (You and may even be overcharged)
Any person in the Society including the Police will take special precaution to ensure that they do not use their "Special Language" while talkimng to a lawyer
The list is endless
Then there are certain negative effects also of being a lawyer
1.The landlords will not easliy give you their premises on rent
2.Some Banks will not give loans to Lawyers and will not accept their guarantees for other borrowers
3. Many Banks have put Lawyers in Negative List in the Credit Cards

whether you use the word "inquiry" or"investigation" in teh name of your firm does not amek any difference!
You ahve as much poers to investigate or inquire as a lawyer as any ordinary citizen has. But because you are a lawyer so public will coem to you with their cases hoping that you must be knowing teh Law related to your chosen field of activity.
Te difference between a Lawyer investigaating a case and an ordinary person doing so is that a Lawyer has the legal bent of mind an the knowledge of teh relevaant laws so he will collect such information only which is useful for teh case. An ordinary person would mostly go by his individual frrlings and emotions and not by law
You must note that there is no restriction on a lawyer or any one investigating a case or a matter in his Private Capacity. But teh facts gathered cannot form a part of any official document unless legally acknowledged by soem due process of law.
I will give u an example
There are public spirited Lawyers who file PILs
Now before they fiel PILs tehy have to do a lot of investigation and research and enquiry. But the information that they gather cannot be accepted as an Official document. But when they fiel a PIL on teh basis of that information and that information is vetted by Courts and is used in Judgements it becomes a part of teh official records
