I tested the latest mainline kernel and can confirm that, the bug still exists 
on the folloswing mainline kernel:
Linux  3.8.0-999-generic #201212310405

I have used this kernel also after disabling proprietary Wireless lan
driver. But that didn't help avoid the crash either.

Nevertheless, I found a workaround for this issue:
Setting the following boot option solves the crash problem:
pcie_aspm=off

The above boot option can be easily set by editing /etc/default/grub: 
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pcie_aspm=off" 
And then running "update grub" command.

Thanks.
