but when I am stating named its giving below error.

Code:
[root@SER ~]# /etc/init.d/named restart
Stopping named:                                            [  OK  ]
Starting named:                                            [FAILED]

and in log i got error:

From the info you provide it seems you're using a chroot'ed environment. I bet the issue relies in how you configured the chroot permissions.

What kind of chroot environment are you using? (manual chroot, OpenSSH jail, rssh, etc?).

Perhaps some ACL getting in the way?

Is the owner of the file the same as the default named user (usually named "named")
