permission on file

i have two user named sourav and jishu.
i have created a file named source.txt in sourav.
i made another user called shovon.
i want to give read write permission of souce.txt for shovon but not for jishu.
how can i set permission only for jishu ?

You can't. You can create a group containing exactly two members: sourav and shovon. Then chgrp the file source.txt to this group (say, "g1"). Give the permissions you want for group membership, g+rw in this case. Make sure the group or other has permissions to read the directory in sourav. When you do an ls -gFxR sourav, you should see something like this:
Code:
drwxr-xr-x sourav users Today sourav/
-rwxrwx--- sourav g1    Today sourav/source.txt
