The properties of the HUF can be enjoyed jointly. However, that does not mean that, a property cannot be used by the members severally. In case of any need, such as marriage, higher studies, health care etc. the same may be equitable to use by any member of the HUF and shall be deemed to be used for the benefit of the family. Equitable principles considerably influences the decisions of the courts...and these are above the prevailing law of the land.
