In the case you mentioned the assessee can claim the exemption from one residential house only for all the 3 assets sold.
But he will have to make sale of all the 3 assets in such a way that the time limit mentioned in the act i.e. construction should be complete before 1 year of sale or after 3 years.
And IT authorities also cannot contend that assesee already owns 2 residential houses at the time of sale, cos until and unless the contruction of house is completed it cannot be used for residing there and so would not be called a residential house.
