No. There need not be any case law in this. The sections are crystal clear. 54 is for long term capital gain arising out of sale of immovable property being residential property. 54F is for "not being a residential house"

Sir I am talking about the purchase of new property. If I have LTCG from the sale of residential property and sale of any asset other than residential property and if I purchase 1 Property than can i take exemption u/s 54 & 54F both for that 1 property purchased ?

Can you have an APPLE and eat it too? The exemption claimed u/s 54 can not be again claimed u/s 54F. (Since you are stretching the imagination too far,..... if 54 LTCG has occured first, then 54F LTCG AND some portion of the value of new flat is left un availed for exemption, then you can have your view come true)

No case law required. The bracketed portion has LOT of read through / between the lines. Please chaeck those dates. The 54F exemption is available if and only if the assessee DOES NOT own any other house as on the date of TRANSFER. Please go through the entire exercise with a cool and level headedness. Best of luck.
