Because you are using sizeWithFont and then setting your frame to that size, your text is aligned right. Try added a background color of light gray to your label to see what I'm talking about. Your label should be set to the same size as your table cell and allow the text to flow inside it. Then it will align to the right.

Update with sample

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"lisn"];
    cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:@"lisn"];

    UILabel *lisnerMessage = [[UILabel alloc] init];
    lisnerMessage.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    [lisnerMessage setFrame:cell.frame];
    lisnerMessage.numberOfLines = 0;
    lisnerMessage.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentRight;
    lisnerMessage.text = [gMessageArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    [cell.contentView addSubview:lisnerMessage];

    return cell
}

Finally I have fix my problem. I was doing small mistake 

[lisnerMessage setFrame:CGRectMake(75 ,20,size.width + 5,size.height+2)];

I just remove size.width and give my specific coordinate 200 after that the text is align right.

[lisnerMessage setFrame:CGRectMake(75 ,20,200,size.height+2)];

Thanks all for your response

Why don't you just make the label in interface builder/storyboard and select the "align right" option? Then connect it as a property named lisnerMessage and lisnerMessage.text=[gMessageArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; That would significantly cut down on how much code you're writing and definitely work.
