In past judiciary has ruled in favor of the assessee in such cases.
However, in past few years, judiciary has approached a much less liberal approach and often disallowed exemption where the new house property is not in the name of the assessee.
Anyways, you can't claim exemption under 54. Since what you have sold is not a residential property, you may claim exemption under 54F wherein you shall be required reinvest the whole of the capital receipt to claim exemption. But as I said before, your claim could be disallowed.
