Depreciation has been claimed on this property in business through out these years. My question is whether sale of property will be LTCG or STCG? Is there an possible way to save tax in this case?

As per sec 50 depreciable assets are treated as short term.The provisions under section 50 for computation of capital gains in the case of
depreciable assets can be invoked only under the following circumstances:
(a) When one or some of the assets in the block are sold for consideration more than
the value of the block.
(b) When all the assets are transferred for a consideration more than the value of the block.
(c) When all the assets are transferred for a consideration less than the value of the block.
