Depends upon so many conditions. You have not mentioned, when the property was purchased, what was the capital gain, was it short term or long term etc.
Consult your tax adviser.

Yes. He can save the tax by investing the amount in the purchase of another residential property within a period of two years from the sale of the original property.See section 54 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
