hi every one, I want to know that if i sold 2 or 3 agricultural lands and purchase only one residential property can i claim exemption from whole capital gain on more than one land sold against only one residential property purchased u/s 54f. Is there any case law decided on that matter please share that case for my reference

Yes you can claim exemption u/s 54F for multiple assets sold. Section 54F does not specify that the exemption is available only against a single asset.
However, you sais that you have sold agricultural land. Capital gain arising on sale of agricultural land is exempt.
