परिवार की संपत्तियो का पारिवारिक सदस्यो के मध्य कोई कानूनी बन्टवारा नही हुआ है क्या ऐसी स्थिति में भी कोई परिवार का सदस्य स्वयम के नाम से कोई संपत्ति क्रय कर सकता है और क्या वह अकेला स्वयम को क़ानून मान्य एकल मालिक मान सकता है यदि उत्तर सकारात्मक है तो ऐसा कब व किन परिस्थितियो में माना जायेगा ?

A coparcener of a HUF cannot sell his share of property independently without a partition.
If anyone is indulging in such activity then it may be as illegal and invalid.

But if he is a married person and he purchased that property by his own efforts and own sources then what may be the legal scenario ? Can a claim held be valid by other members ?

If the self acquired property has been pooled into the common or HUF property, then all the coparceners will be entitled to a share in that property automatically.
If he has brought the self acquired under HUF then he can sell it independently.

Until and unless partition of huf properties by metes and bound does not take place, property purchased by individual member will be deemed property of huf,

As regards the original query, to my knowledge, a co-parcener can sell his undivided share in the joint family property. However, it is well settled that the purchaser of a coparcerner’s
undivided interest in joint family property is not entitled to possession of what he has purchased. His only right is to sue for partition of the property and ask for allotment to him of that which on partition might be found to fall to the share of the coparcener whose share he had purchased. His right to possession would date from the period when a specific allotment was made in his favour.

As regards the further query/clarification, what exactly do you mean by "But if he is a married person and he purchased that property by his own efforts and own sources then what may be the legal scenario"? Does it pertain to third party who has purchased the property from the co-parcener?
