Legal Question in Banking Law in India

Hi,

My father had taken a loan from an Indian bank to start a new business. Our house was added as a gurantee. Unfortunately our business has gone bad and now we are not in a position to return bank's loan. Bank has gone to court and seized our business property. However they have not been able to sell it to recover loan amount.

Question:

1) Can the bank use court to seize our house too? The house is on a loan from a different bank.

2) If answer to question 1 is yes then is there any way to save our house? Can my father gift the house to my wife?
