Maulik,
Just a note FYI: Another difference between run level 1 and S is that if you
change from a higher run level (usually 3) then users who are currently
logged in will stay logged in at run level 1 (new logins are refused) but
all user processes are terminated at run level s/S so all users are logged
out.

Greg

Thanks to responses from Alan Poe and Walt Sullivan 
To summarize, from whatever i understand

Init state s and S are exactly the same. Both S/s and 1 are essentially the
same single user adminstration states but the difference lies in the
scenario wherein they are invoked. Commonly to perform system adminstration
tasks on a running system, init 1 would be invoked, but if the system needs
booting up from an external source for system adminstration purposes, then
init s/S would be invoked. If the /etc/inittab file is bad, the system would
boot up into Single user S/s run level, and not 1 because to change to level
1 it does require a correct /etc/inittab file 

Hope the summary is helpful
