The following are doubts w.r.t .cls file:
1. How to align the "contents" text to right side of the page
2. How to give horizontal lines after "chapter 1" and before "chapter name" in first chapter (or corresponding chapter in general).
3. Similarly how to align the "chapter 1" and "chapter name" to right side of the page beside to page number.
Please solve and oblige

We don't know which class file you use. Please tell us the name of the class, and it would be meaningful to post a code example of your document to change. Link:
