when a proper noun is used as a common noun, it is generally preceded by indefinite article such as MOHAN IS A NEWTON. can we use 'the' in certain cases.? such as MAYANKI IS THE LATA MANGESKAR OF THE CLASS

Yeah when you are referring to specific cases you can use definite article. The usage in the second sentence is correct.
Thanks
