        You are absolutely right!!
Just after dropping the mail I continued with the tests, 
and discovered the same theory. 

Thanks a lot for reply.....

I am making the assumption here that you are doing 

recover database using backup controlfile   when you do the backup

In this case, what is happening to you is normal. The controlfile
doesn't know what the last scn is supposed to be, so all you have to do
is cancel the recovery once the last logfile has been applied and open
the database resetlogs and you will be fine
