I am aware that by adding the id_dsa.pub key to authorized_keys will enable passwordless authentication.
But my goal is to add this public key to the authorized_keys by using a script and without supplying any passwords.

If you could do that with no authorization whatsoever, so could anyone else in the universe with a net connection.

If it's the same password for every server, the 'expect' tool/language might help type it in for you over and over... scripting passwords like that is of course a bad habit but for a one time thing seems doable.

I was confident that my requirements cannot be met but still wanted to explore if there were any other options . Thanks for your replies & comments folks.
