(1) The separate property of a Hindu is liable for the payment of the debt under all circumstances;

(2) The interest of a coparcener, being defined one, is liable for the payment of his debts not only during his lifetime but also after his death;

(3) The father being the sole owner of the ancestral property can sell or mortgage the whole of it in his hands for the payment of his debts though tainted with illegality or immorality.

The rules relating to debts, contracted for the benefits of joint family, are similar to those of the Mitakshara, which we have seen in foregoing discussions.
