Dear B.S. Bhushan,

Unfortunately, at the moment I have no way to check your input file. 
I'm in business trips. Maybe a bit later. 
But in principle, I can send you my input files for silicene, 
which has the same symmetry. You are not correctly listed k-points. 
Once you specify K_POINTS {crystal_b}, then you should take 
a k-point position like this:

The band structure I formed by bands.x code which is part of Espresso.
So, also you can plot bands.out file by means Origin or other similar code.

Things were fine untill i tried graphene. However, I stuck with graphene band structure for the last 3 days. As a beginner, I have done everything i can to resolve the problem. when i try to plot the band structure of 2 atom graphene, either i get a wrong band gap or an empty plot.
