Hi Sudhir,

First and foremost sincerely regret delayed reply.

I was able to use a sidebar component and jQuery to remove the Submit for Approval button.  We needed some custom logic to execute before the record entered the approval process so we added a custom button to submit for approval and removed the submit for approval button on the Approval History section by adding the following sidebar component.  Note this will break if Salesforce changes the name of the button component "piSubmit". Replace the ###### with a reference to a static resource with the jQuery.js. You can't use the functions in sidebar components for URLFOR. 
<script src="/resource/#############/jQuery"></script>
<script>
  $j = jQuery.noConflict();

  // Added a check for a specific custom object
  if(window.location.href.indexOf(".com/a14") != -1) {
    $j(document).ready(function() {     
      $j("input[name='piSubmit']").hide();
    });
  }
</script>
Kindly mark this post as solved if the information help's so that it gets removed from the unanswered queue and becomes a proper solution which results in helping others who are really in need of it.

Good Luck.
