Thanks for your reply, Gopalakrishnan. I did check whether the user has logged into the database but I got a negative. However, I did come across the following possiblity but I am not sure of this so
could u please throw some light on it ??

We have a context server running Intermedia applications which accesses the the objects held by that user (the user trying to b dropped). Is there a chance
of a lock being held on one of those objects due to which the dropping of the user
takes forever ?? Will it help if we shutdown the context server which runs the
Intermedia applications before we try to drop the user ??

Regards,
Samir

Probably that user might have connected to the instance. Check V$session.
