Exemption under section 54 was denied by the Revenue by treating the capital gains as taxable in the relevant year on the premise that the new residential house was not constructed. The appellate authority held that the statute allows a three-year period from transfer for construction, which had not expired in the year under appeal, and the assessee's purchase of land and ongoing construction/investment in the new residential house was undisputed, with completion evidenced subsequently.
