Record 1 with label A fetches fields name1 & address1 from table 'emp'
and Record 2 with label B fetched fields name2 & address2 from same table 'emp'
I want to use a non db block to populate these records. Any help please how to write such a procedure to do so ?
Thanks.

Don't use a repeating block and rename the fields to unique identifiers.
However, this is a poor design to being with and I am only making it worse, but it does indeed fit your request.
select name1, name2, addess1, address2, etc.
into :name_1, :name_2, :address_1, :address_2, etc.
from table
where clause
Where clause must of course only return one row.
I'll repeat it again, this is a poor design and I see no reason why you would want to do something like this. Your table seems to be denormalized and you are just trying to hide/bandage it up with method.

How about a loop, for example
begin
for cur_r in (select name, address from emp) loop
:block.name := cur_r.name;
:block.address := cur_r.address;
next_record;
end loop;
end;
That *might* work if you want to retrieve records from a table that has NAME and ADDRESS columns. However, if Quote:
Record 1 with label A fetches fields name1 & address1 from table 'emp'
and Record 2 with label B fetched fields name2 & address2 from same table 'emp'
means that this table contains all these columns (NAME1, ADDRESS1, NAME2, ADDRESS2, ...), then it, of course, won't work.
