Hi,

    {
    get
        {
           Set<String> setprocat = new Set<String>(); 
          
            ProdcatLst = [Select PricebookEntry.Product2.Category__c FROM OpportunityLineItem WHERE OpportunityId = :PageID];
            
            ProdCatList = new List<SelectOption>();
            
            for(OpportunityLineItem opl: ProdcatLst )
            {
                ProdCatList.add(new SelectOption(opl.PricebookEntry.Product2.Category__c,opl.PricebookEntry.Product2.Category__c));
                setprocat.add(opl.PricebookEntry.Product2.Category__c);

try this one 

            for(OpportunityLineItem opl: ProdcatLst )
            {
              if(!setprocat.contains(opl.PricebookEntry.Product2.Category__c))
                ProdCatList.add(newSelectOption(opl.PricebookEntry.Product2.Category__c,opl.PricebookEntry.Product2.Category__c));                                       setprocat.add(opl.PricebookEntry.Product2.Category__);
            }
            return ProdCatList ;

HI Sudhir,

rather than using a list you can use maps 

declare as map<string,string> ProdCatmap= new map<string,string>(); and add this to options .

 for(OpportunityLineItem opl: ProdcatLst ) {
      ProdCatmap.put(pl.PricebookEntry.Product2.Category__c,opl.PricebookEntry.Product2.Category__c));
            ProdCatList.add(newSelectOption(ProdCatmap))  
                     setprocat.add(opl.PricebookEntry.Product2.Category__c);

}
return ProdCatList ;

Thanks for you reply saikrishna I am getting incorrect signature eror for ProdCatList.add(newSelectOption(ProdCatmap))  

  Please find error below 

Error: Compile Error: Method does not exist or incorrect signature: newSelectOption(Map<String,String>)

Hi Sudhir
You reate one more list called UniqProdCatList. Loop through ProdCatList and then inside the loop you write a for loop to loop through UniqProdCatList (if UniqProdCatList .length>0) and add the sobjects to UniqProdCatList  If ProdCatList  sobject is not there in the UniqProdCatList and return UniqProdCatList .

code would be something like this,
/* Display product category select list */
    public List<SelectOption> ProdCatList
    {
        get
        {
            Set<String> setprocat = new Set<String>(); 
            
            ProdcatLst = [Select PricebookEntry.Product2.Category__c FROM OpportunityLineItem WHERE OpportunityId = :PageID];
            
            ProdCatList = new List<SelectOption>();
            
            for(OpportunityLineItem opl: ProdcatLst )
            {
                ProdCatList.add(new SelectOption(opl.PricebookEntry.Product2.Category__c,opl.PricebookEntry.Product2.Category__c));
                setprocat.add(opl.PricebookEntry.Product2.Category__c);
            }
            
            boolean flag=false;
            UniqProdCatList = new List<SelectOption>();
            for(OpportunityLineItem opp: ProdCatLst ){
                flag=false;
                If(UniqueProdCatLst .length>0){
                    for(OpportunityLineItem UniqProdCatList ) {
                        if(Uopp.Name==opp.Name){
                            flag=true;
                        }
                    } 
                }
                if(flag!=true){
                    UniqProdCatList .add(opp);
                } 
            }
            return UniqProdCatList ;
        }
    }

Pls mark as solved if it helps you

Hi Eldon, 

  I created another list as you suggested  

    List<SelectOption> UniqProdCatList  = new List<SelectOption>();  


  I get error in for loop please find below also i cannot use If(UniqueProdCatLst .length>0) 

Error: Compile Error: Loop variable must be of type System.SelectOption
