Hi friends, In addition to what I did as mentioned in my first email, working on all your inputs, I also temporarily switched off all accessibility features like magnification gestures, moto voice, audex etc, except for Talk back obviously, and this solved my problem, I then could grant permission to the various apps that I needed to. So yes you guys were right, it was some accessibility app that was coming in the way. I don't know which app exactly hence I disabled all temporarily, So thanks for all your inputs which enabled me to find the solution, Sincere regards, Rishi

Android doesn't allow to change settings while there is screen overlay due to some security issues. With best wishes Hope it helps.
