hi @surazb 
What is the IP configuration for interfaces on both end PCs?
Could you share output from "arp -a" from both end PCs? Can PCs see each other in ARP table?

Are both devices directly connected to the single switch? What is the switch configuration?

If both devices have set IP addresses within the single subnet (I assume in your case it's 192.168.1.0/24) you don't need the gateway to have them communicating - end host will not send the traffic to the gateway, so in your case there is no need to focus on reachability to the gateway for this particular issue.

Please also take a look at MAC address table on a switch to see if you can see both of the PCs on a switch.

Thanks for reply
Both PCs have IP address 192.168.1.50 and 192.168.1.60 respectively with Gateway of 192.168.1.10, No configuration on switch except SSH for taking access. 
You are correct, As both PCs are in same VLAN as we can see in attached snap, No need of default gateway but i think configuring Gateway will not affect anything here, Please correct me if i am wrong
I am not able to understand that why my PC is telling Destination host unreachable from its own IP address when gateway is reachable 

Hello,

weird indeed. Try and reboot the switch, that sometimes helps. If it doesn't, can you post the running config of the switch ?
