nearly corresponding, resembling in many respects,

somewhat like having a general likeness (Robenstein vs.

14(C). The term "Similar" does not mean "identical" as

respects degree of similarity that must exist between

property sold and that condemned to make evidence of

the sale admissible but means having a resemblance

and property may be similar though each possesses

various points of difference." (City of Chicago vs.

vs. Financial Commissioner, Revenue, Punjab, AIR 1973
