Hi All
  How can I get a topology file using pdb2gmx from a single chain
polypeptide with one of the CYS, SH in the form of SG as if it is
involved in disulfide linkage, while the other chain with which I
expect it to form disulfide link is not in the input pdb file. or can
I use pdb2gmx command and get the separate .top and .gro file for each
chain using index file.


You may be able to use the -cys option to fool pdb2gmx, but I don't know if that will cause problems. Having half a disulfide present is odd, though some force fields support thiolate or neutral (i.e. radical) forms of cysteine. You'll have to look into the force field files to see what's available.
