In my opinion exemption u/s 54 will be denied.

You can purchase any number of residential houses. Exemption u/s 54 is not limited to one house only.
So u can enjoy the benefits of investments in both houses.

Myself and Tilak differed in the opinion.
See also some judicial decisions.
1) Where the assessee purchases more than one house,then he can claim exemption in respect of one house. KC.Kaushik's case 185 ITR 499(Mum). I relay on this and gave the above answer.
2) Contrary view: There is no bar in acquiring more than one house out of proceeds of sale of a residential house. Refer 91 ITD 53 (Ban-Tri). Perhaps Tilak is relying on this decision.
