When I cleared the catalog and re-catalog with particular id it worked fine but when i created a new object and catalog based on my new object id, the indexError is showing again.

I am having IndexError in some of my folders when i tried to view the content of Zcatalog created in these folders, but to my surprise this is not happening in other folders with similar Zcatalog. I am also not experiencing the same problem with objects of the old Zcatalog that I have catalog before this error. In an attempt to correct this error, i had duplicated the old Zcatalog and renamed it. But once i catalog the objects and try to view it, it will show the IndexError again.

This error occurs when the ZCatalog is trying to build a result set during a catalog search and an item in the catalog index cannot be added to the result set. You may have a 'broken' object which was included in the catalog/index when you built (reindexed) the catalog (which may explain why your working/renamed catalog also failed).

Try looking at the objects you are adding to the catalog and see if any of them are invalid. If you have a lot of items in the catalog you may have to write a python script to add the objects to the catalog, one-at-a-time, and test after the catalog after each object has been added in order to determine which object is causing the problem.
