Thanks in Advance,

How do you know which ones to replace?

i.e. file1.txt contains name=Rajakumar, which you have used to replace the first occurrence of name=Kannan, however for Discipline you have replaced the last occurrence. There is no way you can programme this unless there are clear rules to follow.

i want to replace the line which contains kannan with the line of the reference file as name=Rajakumar

Something like this?
