I think I could figure out the mistake I was committing. 

I intended to restrain 2 pairs of distances simultaneously. Hence the index of 
both the pairs were kept 1 with lower and upper bounds different for the two 
pairs. This had created error. The same indices for a pair of distances would 
imply they contribute to same NOE signal. Hence their lower and upper bounds 
should be same. I thought the same index would only mean that the restraints on 
both pairs would be treated simultaneously as written in manual and there is no 
need that lower and upper bounds of the restraints should be equal for both 
pairs.

 Am I understanding correctly ?

Regards,
Nikhil

I have already included the [distance_restraints] section in .top file. In 
principle fac coloumn should be multiplied with the default force constant 
(1000 Kj Mol-1 nm-2) and that should get reflected in the mdout.mdp file. But 
this does not happen. mdout.mdp file still depicts the force constant to be 
1000 even though fac coloumn > 1. I wish to restrain the distance between on 
two atoms.

Then you haven't applied any distance restraints.

Setting distance restraints isn't as simple as setting some .mdp options, you 
have to have a [distance_restraints] section in the topology that describes 
exactly what those restraints are.  This is all in the manual, and has been 
discussed a number of times on the list, so there should also be some pointers 
in the archives.

If it works, you should see the corresponding energy term.
