i am using the best conformation of protein ligand file obtained after
docking results

i made the .gro file  by
  pdb2gmx -f pro.pdb -o proceed.gro -water spc -missing -ignh

then the ligand codinates from ligand,gro was obtained from prodrug sever,

Beware the quality of PRODRG topologies - they are never sufficiently accurate without manual reparameterization. Using the coordinates from PRODRG may or may not cause problems. Make sure you don't allow PRODRG to run EM on the structure, or else the docked pose will be altered.

then i pasted ligand coordinates in this file
the first three lines are

Gallium Rubidium Oxygen Manganese Argon Carbon Silicon
  2059
   705SER      N    1  -3.373  -1.131   1.295
   705SER     H1    2  -3.442  -1.166   1.232
   705SER     H2    3  -3.339  -1.043   1.261
   705SER     H3    4  -3.298  -1.196   1.303

last three lines are
     1LIG  OAR     33   0.425  -0.911   1.194
     1LIG  CAC     34   0.593  -1.073   1.167
     1LIG  CAT     35   0.500  -1.191   1.198
    9.21266   2.49507   2.95990




and the output for command is
wc -l proceed.gro
2100 proceed.gro


This shows your problem. You didn't account for the fact that you pasted in a ligand by properly incrementing the atom count on the second line of the file. Thus, when editconf reaches atom 2059, it expects to find box vectors on the next line, but instead finds another atom and gives you the "bad box" message. Your file actually has 2097 atoms (2100 - 3).

Note that there is a protein-ligand tutorial available if these concepts are unfamiliar to you.
