Hi,
Section 54F alone imposes restriction on the number of houses to held on the date of sale.But section 54 does not impose restriction on the number of houses to be owned.
Moreover as per General Clauses Act singular includes plural.
Hence as per your situation the individual can claim 54 exemption.
But the case is not free from litigation as one has to explain the AO regarding the General Clauses Act.
