Yes , He can. There is no bar under Income Tax Act,1961 that the same proceeds should be utilised in buying the new HP.

SECTION 54 SPECIFICALLY PROVIDES THAT THE GAIN SHALL BE INVESTED IN A RESIDETIAL HOUSE PL NOTE

Dr Pasricha case is of tribunal and not of High Court as per my knowledge
the issue is full of doubt
In Mrs. Prem P. Shah v. ITO (2006) 100 ITD 61 (Mum-Trib) it was held that there is no requirement of law that same amount of sale consideration should be utilized for acquisition of property for claiming exemption under section 54 of the Act.
In Milan Sharad Ruparel v. Asstt. CIT (2009) 28 (II) ITCL 362 (Mum ‘G’-Trib) : (2009) 27 SOT 61 (Mum-Trib)THE TRIBUNAL HELD OTERWISE
In Smt. Pramila A. Parikh v. ITO (IT Appeal No. 2755 (Mum) of 1997) is also to the same effect as that in Milan Sharad Ruparel
So there is divergence in the judicial opinion
The kerala High court in ITO v. K.C. Gopalan (1999) 107 Taxman 591 (Ker)has held that in order to get benefit of section 54, there is no condition that assessee should utilize the sale consideration itself for the purpose of acquisition of new property. but in that case the assessee deposited sale consideration in a bank account
going by the language of section 54 it appears that the investment should be of capital gain realised from transfer of the residential house

The Case Law referred by me is of Bombay high Court not of tribunal. still in my opinion, it is not necessary to have direct nexus of amount of sales proceeds with investment in new house.There is ample time (two /three years) to invest.

I agree here with CA Vijay Kumar Gupta.
The ultimate objective of section 54 shall be met if the house is purchased from borrowed funds.
It will help if the shop is kept as collateral (and as happened in Dr. Pasricha's case the shop was kept as guarantee for the loan raised for the purchase of house).
