      Hi Aman,

      You can try this:-

      Apex Controller

      public class AccountLink
      {
      public String linkId {get;set;}
      public List<Contact> con{get;set;}
      public String searchString{get;set;}
      public List<Account> acct{get;set;}

      public void search1()
      {

      acct= Database.query('Select Name, description From Account WHERE Name LIKE \'%'+searchString+'%\' Limit 100');
      con = new List<contact>();
      }

      public void link()
      {

      con = [SELECT Id, Description, AccountId FROM Contact WHERE AccountId =:linkId LIMIT 100];

      }
      }

       

      Apex Page

      <apex:page controller="AccountLink" sidebar="false" id="page">

      <apex:form >
      <apex:actionFunction action="{!search1}" name="callingApex" reRender="idBlock1"/>
      <apex:pageBlock Id="idBlock">
      <apex:inputText value="{!searchString}" onkeyup="callApex()" />
      <apex:pageBlockButtons >
      <apex:commandButton value="search" action="{!search1}" rerender="idBlock1"/>
      </apex:pageBlockButtons>

      <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!acct}" var="account" id="idBlock1">
      <apex:column headerValue="Account Name" >
      <apex:commandLink value="{!account.name}" action="{!Link}" reRender="idPage">
      <apex:param value="{!account.Id}" name="ContactsShow" assignTo="{!linkId}" />
      </apex:commandLink>
      </apex:column>
      <apex:column >

      <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!con}" var="contact" id="idPage">
      <apex:column value="{!contact.Description}"/>
      <apex:column value="{!contact.Id}"/>
      </apex:pageBlockTable>

      </apex:column>
      </apex:pageBlockTable>
      </apex:pageBlock>
      </apex:form>
      <script>
      function callApex()
      {
      callingApex();
      }
      </script>
      </apex:page>

       

      Hope this helps.
