As per the averments made in the affidavit, the petitioner is the absolute owner and possessor of land admeasuring to an extent of Ac.5.05 cents in Sy.No.341-2 of Medapuram Village, C.K. Palli Mandal, Ananthapur District. The subject property was purchased by the petitioner's husband in a public auction conducted by the Co-operative Central Bank, Ananthapuramu in E.P. No. 938/1978-79 dated 18.01.1985. After his demise, the petitioner succeeded the property and she has been in continuous possession without any interference. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner further submitted that though the land was originally classified as dotted land and later assigned, the assignment lost its character once the land was mortgaged to the Primary Agricultural Credit Society (PACS) and subsequently sold in public auction by the bank due to default.
