I did check Cluster and found Cluster is up and running fine.

I look further into this issue and found  Availability group Listener IP was same as  Windows Cluster IP.

or

The listener IP address which user was using was already in use. User was getting ping request from that IP address. 

here Windows Virtual Cluster IP was 10.12.62.147 and while Creating a Listener IP user has  given similar IP 10.12.62.147

Resolution:-

Later I created an  Availability group Listener using different unused  IP 10.12.62.148 and found I was successfully able to create a listener.

Hope this will help someone.

Thanks for Reading.
