I think I could figure out the mistake I was committing.

I intended to restrain 2 pairs of distances simultaneously. Hence the
index of both the pairs were kept 1 with lower and upper bounds
different for the two pairs. This had created error. The same indices
for a pair of distances would imply they contribute to same NOE signal.
Hence their lower and upper bounds should be same. I thought the same
index would only mean that the restraints on both pairs would be treated
simultaneously as written in manual and there is no need that lower and
upper bounds of the restraints should be equal for both pairs.

Am I understanding correctly ?

You'll stand a better chance of a useful answer if you quote your usage of such indices in your .itp file. Manual 4.3.4 has an example.

I have already included the [distance_restraints] section in .top file.
In principle fac coloumn should be multiplied with the default force
constant (1000 Kj Mol-1 nm-2) and that should get reflected in the
mdout.mdp file. But this does not happen. mdout.mdp file still depicts
the force constant to be 1000 even though fac coloumn > 1. I wish to
restrain the distance between on two atoms.

Then you haven't applied any distance restraints.

Setting distance restraints isn't as simple as setting some .mdp
options, you have to have a [distance_restraints] section in the
topology that describes exactly what those restraints are. This is all
in the manual, and has been discussed a number of times on the list, so
there should also be some pointers in the archives.

If it works, you should see the corresponding energy term.
