else I am not getting you..
Thanks for suggestion. The above command sets permission for read only for File1. But not on Folder1 and Folder2. So others won't be able to navigate to reach the file. Also, I found that we need to have execute 'x' as well to navigate. So,
chmod o+rx /Folder1/Folder2/File1 # sets permission for just File1 not the folders.

This means you have to grant r-x or at least x to all of the directories involved, then grant r-- to File1. IS this what you are asking?
Yes, you are right, we have to provide both 'r' and 'x' for folders to navigate. But in order to do so I have to execute many chmod commands till the File1 (imagine the scenario where we may have 10-15 Folders).
