Dear Neelam

Your hexagonal (ibrav=4) supercell has a=46.2265 a.u. and c=46.9710  
a.u., that is, a huge cell volume of 86924.5388 (a.u.)^3, as reported  
in your output file. Not only this huge cell requires a lot of memory,  
as stated in your output

Estimated max dynamical RAM per process >      11.48 GB

but your small bunch of atoms (24) is scattered in a meaningless  
structure around this huge cell. If you have no supervisor that can  
guide you, please at least check carefully with some visual  
editor/viewer of atomic structures (xcrysden can be a good choice)  
your input file before starting the calculation. 99% of weird errors  
depend on very wrong atomic positions.
