If your father and your uncle were joint borrowers then upon the death of your father the bank has to approach the co-borrower only and not the legal heirs of the deceased?
You may come out with more details so that more proper opinion can be rendered.

A creditor has a charge on the property left behind by the deceased debtor. If the property passes on to the legal heir, the legal heir is liable to the extent of the property inherited by him or the amount payable to the creditor, whichever is lower.
