Exemption u/s 54

The language of the Income-tax Act is not much clear on the topic and doesn't provide explicitly for this. It has been given under the section that the sales proceeds cannot be invested in more than one house. However, it has not been given that whether sales of more than one houses can be invested into one single house, to get the exemption under section 54.

However, there have been a few case laws in this regards wherein, the decision has been in favor of the assessee by the courts.

Thank you for your reply, What if I sell 2 houses, do i get buy 2 different houses and claim exemption u/s 54 respectively for the houses that i had sold?

(I hope my question is clear, if not pls let me know ill ask by the way of an example)
