Hi jnanesh,
You can either set the focus back to the original editor window or firstly hide the opened editor window, for example:
DTE dte = GetService(typeof(SDTE)) as DTE;
Window originalWindow = dte.ActiveWindow;
dte.ItemOperations.NewFile();
originalWindow.Activate();
//DTE dte = GetService(typeof(SDTE)) as DTE;
//dte.ItemOperations.NewFile().Visible=false;
