@NAIDILE S 

you can use display business rule on the child table and use the parent field to auto-populate fields

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

	// Add your code here
	if(current.parent){
		current.fieldNameOnChild1 = current.parent.fieldName1;
		current.fieldNameOnChild2 = current.parent.fieldName2;
	}

})(current, previous);

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar 
There is one more requirement, can u plz help me that

 say i create this Control objective record by filling all the fields, then i update the parent filed( this parent field will have same fields- So i have to populate the same thing into new record  which i just created ), so basically the desc and short desc will have the values of the parent record. 

Requirement 

. From Table view
- The user creates a new Control Objective via new button on the table.
- Selecting existing Control Objective in the field "Parent"
Expected behavior:  short desc / desc of a parent Control Objective will be populated into the  filed
