The cost of acquisition of the house no. 2 will be reduced to an extent of deductions claimed I. e. 50 lakhs. while calculating capital gains on sale of house no. 2,the cost of acquisition to be taken as 20 lakhs instead of 70 lakhs and the capital gains will be of Long term
No. The new house has a lock in period of 3 years.
There is no lock in period as far as sale of new asset is concerned.

The condition is to hold it for 3 years but in case if it is sold before that than whatever deduction was availed under section 54 shall be charged to tax in the year in which new asset is sold. Take care of section provisions.
You are required to hold the house 2 for 3 years and than after you are eligible for sold that.
