Manohar vs State Of Maharashtra & Anr on 13 December, 2012
13. The Supreme Court in Manohar v. State of Maharashtra
(2025 INSC 900) further affirms that the highest bona fide transaction must
be adopted, that certified sale deeds must be accepted unless proved
otherwise, and that ignoring a superior exemplar constitutes an error of law.
In this light, Ex.C4 emerges as the best and most reliable exemplar, and its
rejection by the Reference Court is legally unsustainable.
