Hi VidyaPai,

You can set the permissions on that particlular list for users to Read.

If user can Add list item and dont have rights to Edit and Delete them then you have to create a custom permission level and create a SharePoint group with that permissions. Add User Group to that list.

To create a custom permission level read my article @ http://stsadm2010.blogspot.in/2011/09/create-custom-permission-level-in.html

You can create a feature and use the HideCustomAction element to hide whatever action you want (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms414790.aspx).

The list of default actions is in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb802730.aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee537543.aspx.
