Found the answer. Not an exact solution but worked.
There was nothing wrong with my code as I tried reading other excels and it worked flawlessly. The problem was with excel.
Possible Reason: The excel is parsed into XML first and when the XML is invalid you get this error. My excel was primarily developed using MS-Office( Windows environment) and I edited it using Libra Calc (in Linux environment), so this may a reason the poi couldn't read the excel properly.
Solution: Just developed the same excel in Linux environment as it worked good.
