Srujan, Could you check the Library Versioning Settings. 1. From the Doc Library Click Settings 2. Choose Doc Libaray Setting 3. Click Versioning Settings 4. In the Require Check Out section make sure "Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited? " is set to yes to force the document to be checked out for editing.

Is this all in the intranet zone and no extranet and all PC's are in the same domain. What version of IE are you using and is the site listed in the trusted zones (just wondering, not a need). Sorry for the dumb question but did you also clear the cache and empty the temp files in IE and reboot? Let us know if the link here helps as well. Also this is from Lambert with Microsoft on the same issue Kris Wagner, MVP, MCITP, MCTS Twitter @sharepointkris Blog: http://www.sharepointkris.com/blog
