Hello Sushma,

Have you tried BFD docs? 
http://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/bfd/index.html


There is also information about that encoded in C language 
in gdb and binutils (and probably many other) projects.

I would suggest looking at files gdb/dwarf2*.c.
http://community.qnx.com/integration/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/tools/gdb/trunk/gdb-6.8/gdb/?root=core-dev-tools&system=
exsy1001
(note that much of the code there will be specific to gdb 
and its internal representation of debug information which 
is intentionally made generic due to desire to read 
different debug formats).


Or, maybe it is cleaner and simpler binutils/dwarf.c 
http://community.qnx.com/integration/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/tools/binutils/trunk/binutils/dwarf.c?root=core-dev-tools&rev=
279&system=exsy1001&view=markup


Hope this helps,

Aleksandar
