Hi Anudeep,
Cant we achrive this using workflow rule.

Through Apex, we can check if a record is submitted for approval using 
Approval.isLocked(recordId);

I checked if it is possible to do the same thing using workflow rules and guess we can do that by creating an additional Checkbox Field [Is Locked(Is_Locked__c)] on the object and then in the Initial Submission Actions, you can add a Field Update that sets the field to TRUE and also in the Final Approval and Final Rejection action you will have to another Field Update that sets it to FALSE.

I haven't tried it myself but it looks like it can be done through workflow rule
