Thanks Kristofer and Grezegorz.
Well, it is not a asp.net app. Its a .Net remoting application. The simplest
way I got, to get the path is

Page pg = new Page();
string strAbsPath = pg.Server.MapPath(".") + "\\bin\\";

So unlike "HttpRequest" object creation, I don't have to bother abt any
parameters to get the physical path.

Thanks a lot any ways,
