Hi @nameisnani 

For which table you want to write this?
Is it request item or for every table in SN?

Can you please elaborate more?

Hi there @nameisnani 

 you can use a Business Rule 

• Go to System Definition > Business Rules and click on New to create a new Business Rule.

1. Configure the Business Rule:

if (current.approver == current.requested_for) {
    gs.addErrorMessage("You cannot approve your own request.");
    current.setAbortAction(true);
}

\This Business Rule runs before the approval is inserted or updated. It checks if the approver is the same as the requested_for user. 

If this helps kindly accept the answer thanks much.

Hi @nameisnani ,

I tried your problem in my PDI and it works for me 

Please create before business rule and add below code 

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

	// Add your code here
	if(current.approver == gs.getUserID()){
		if(current.state.changes()){
			gs.log("Here");
			gs.addErrorMessage("You can nhot approve your request")
			current.setAbortAction(true);
		}
	}

})(current, previous);

Result 

Please mark my answer correct and helpful if this works for you

Thanks and Regards
