Can someone please suggest me an opensource API (SDK) for reading IFC file ? I need to acces at the file content.

JSDAI can handle EXPRESS and STEP files. You can use it to parse for example the IFC 4x1 schema and read EXPRESS files. On the JSDAI website, there are also some small videos that show how to use it in conjunction with Eclipse.
Not Open Source, but Java related: IFC TOOLS PROJECT
You can also write your own early binding to be able to read/write STEP files (e.g. oipExpress which is C++ related but could be extended to support Java)
