For any recovery of loan the bank need to first issue a notice of default and call upon the defaulters to pay the loan arrears. If not paid, they have an option to approach the jurisdictional civil court for instituting a money recovery suit. Without orders from the court, your in-law's or as a matter of fact the principal borrower's property cannot be auctioned except in cases of SARFAESI Act.

The Bank has discretion to auction the property of either the principal borrower or that of the guarantor, if any. You may need the assistance of a lawyer to guide you if your in-law's property is in the verge of sale.
