I have been to this location:

Dear Siva,
that is indeed strange.
Still don't know if this could be an issue with your NWDS or the PAR itself.
So let's do 2 tests
===============================================
TEST NR. 1
Let's try and check the NWDS first by creating a custom PAR.
Don't worry, it's easy.
Just open your NWDS and go to the top menu
File > New > Project
Inside the popup window that will open please choose
Portal Application (on the left) and Create a Portal Application Project (on the right)
Then give any name you would like (no spaces or dots, etc...)
You now have a Portal project created on NWDS ( you will see a folder on the left side with your project name)
Click on that folder with your LEFT mouse button and choose EXPORT
Choose PAR File
Choose your Project
Choose a path where you want your PAR file to be saved. (uncheck the deploy PAR file, but check the include the source code).
And click Finish.
Now delete the project you have created (by clicking on the folder with your LEFT mouse button again, but chose DELETE project)
Now you're ready to re-import the PAR file.
===============================================
TEST NR. 2
Maybe your standard PAR file that you've downloaded doesn't have the source code included or is corrupted.
Please try to open it with a ZIP program and check what type of structure/files you have there.
Have you also checked your NWDS log ?
You could also share here that log, so that I can better help you.
Kindest Regards
