But I want to run chkdsk utility on drive ,without involvement of cmd.exe i.e; Purely using internal features of c#.

Chkdsk is a console application. So how do you wanna start a console application without the console? The only thing you can do is hiding the window from the user.

As you for sure already noticed: MSDN - Chkdsk
According the console-window: 

startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
startInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

This together should bring you to your goal.
