public void enableComp(boolean flag) {
        adminTabbedPane.setEnabledAt(0, flag);
        adminTabbedPane.setEnabledAt(1, flag);
        if (flag) {
             /* Other components getting disabled*/
        } else {
            /* Other components getting disabled*/
        }
    }

on every button click I am invoking this method after my operation is finished I am again calling this method to enable all components again

Post your SSCCE.

The code below seems to work in the predicted way:

public class FunWithTabbedPane extends JFrame
{
    final JTabbedPane jtb;
    final JTextArea jta1, jta2;
    final JButton jbt1, jbt2;
    
    public FunWithTabbedPane()
    {
        super( "Foo" );
        setDefaultCloseOperation( DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE );
        
        jta1 = new JTextArea( 20, 40 );
        jta1.setText( "Text in Tab 0 " );
        
        jta2 = new JTextArea( 20, 40 );
        jta2.setText( "Text in Tab 1 " );
        
        jtb = new JTabbedPane();
        jtb.addTab( "Tab 0", jta1 );
        jtb.addTab( "Tab 1", jta2 );
        
        jbt1 = new JButton( new EnableDisableTabAction( jtb, 0 ) );
        jbt2 = new JButton( new EnableDisableTabAction( jtb, 1 ) );
        
        JPanel buttons = new JPanel( new GridLayout( 1 , 0 ) );
        buttons.add( jbt1 );
        buttons.add( jbt2 );
        
        add( jtb, BorderLayout.CENTER );
        add( buttons, BorderLayout.SOUTH );
        
        setSize( 640, 480 );
    }
    
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Runnable()
        {   
            public void run()
            {
                new FunWithTabbedPane().setVisible( true );
            }
        });
    }
}

class EnableDisableTabAction extends AbstractAction
{
    final JTabbedPane jtb;
    final Integer tabIdx;
    
    public EnableDisableTabAction( JTabbedPane jtb, int tabIdx )
    {
        super( "Enabled/Disable Tab" + tabIdx );
        this.jtb = jtb;
        this.tabIdx = tabIdx;
    }
    
    public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e )
    {   
        boolean enabled = ! jtb.isEnabledAt( tabIdx );
        jtb.setEnabledAt( tabIdx, enabled );
        jtb.getComponentAt( tabIdx ).setEnabled( enabled );
    }
}

As Rob mentioned, a SSCCE would be great. Or at least you could TellTheDetails. I don't understand what you mean with 'but the current selected tab and other Tabs display is not getting effected' ... in which way should they be affected and what exactly does it mean that they are not 'affected'? Without crystall ball it's hard nowadays...

Hi,
This is exactly what I wanted ... everytime when you are disabling the Tabs it is getting disabled and the Text written on the Tabs are also showing in a disabled form(like embedded), , I was having problem in implementing this only.

Thanks a Billion....

I must admit I have never seen so active & helpfull peoples like you all are ...
Hope you see a brighter future....
