1) since MR A is no longer owner of the properties bank cant attach these properties . i presume all legal formalities were completed for transfer of properties

2) bank cannot claim properties transferred in name of minor grand son

The properties are transferred only to avoid the recovery by bank. Hence the bank can attach all such properties of the borrower.

Mr.A has ceased to be the owner of these properties. So they cannot be attached now.
