You are free to deal with all properties, regardless. However, in respect of the secured property, the Bank would have a lien on the same, as the same is used as a security, by way of mortgage/hypothecation. In case of dealing in such secured property, the purchaser must be informed of such mortgage and hypothecation, and suitable Indemnity Bond may be issued thereof to make good the loss, if any to the interested purchaser of such secured propoerty.

There's no problem with regard to unsecured properties in this connection.

Have they issued any notice with regard to unsecured properties, if not then don't worry about it since they were not offered as collateral security, you can challenge their claim if any properly.

Dear Sir,

You being a guarantor and your liability is limited to the extent of property which is secured with bank.  In fact the bankers cannot declare your personal account as NPA when principal debtor fail to discharge his liabilities.  You are free to deal with your other properties without any hesitation.  Please go ahead.
