you need to mention the date of sale.
However even if he gifts the amount,capital gains cannot be avoided.
to avoid tax he should purchase a house within two years from the date of sale or in case he decides to construct ,the time period is 3 years.
the amount(capital gain) not utilised for purachse or construction of another house shall be deposited under CAPITAL GAINS ACCOUNT SCHEME before the due date of filing return. Otherwise the capital gains become taxable.
You can invest the capital gains in more than one property

No by gifting the money capital gain tax cannot be avoided.
But there are other deductions through which capital gain tax can be avoided.
However you have to tell that the property sold is a residential property or commercial property.
If it is a residential property then whether there any other residential property in the name of assesse.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. The property sold is a residential property and now he intends to purchase two plots, is this allowed or not or If the two plots are next to each other then can it be registered as one and bought.
If he purchases the plot now what is the time limit allowed for construction of the house. Please clarify.
