Sir,
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

Please post a minimal working example.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Welcome to the forum!
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:

Here is an example using the
titlesec package:
Adjust as you desire. The command
Stefan

\usepackage{titlesec} \titleformat{\chapter}[display] {\normalfont\huge\bfseries\raggedleft}{\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter} {20pt}{\Huge}
Adjust as you desire. The command
\raggedleft
does the right alignment.Stefan

You could add a line break with a title rule,
Regarding the page header style, you may play with this and change it:
Stefan
\\[0.5ex]\titlerule
, that is,
\titleformat{\chapter}[display] {\normalfont\huge\bfseries\raggedleft}{% \chaptertitlename\ \thechapter\\[0.5ex]\titlerule} {20pt}{\Huge}
Regarding the page header style, you may play with this and change it:
\providepairofpagestyles{thesisSimple}{% \clearpairofpagestyles% \automark[chapter]{chapter} \ihead{\headmark}% Inner header \ohead[\pagemark]{\pagemark}% Outer header } \ifoot{}% Inner footer \ofoot{}% Outer footer \pagestyle{thesisSimple} \providepairofpagestyles[thesisSimple]{thesis}{% \automark*[section]{}% } \providepairofpagestyles[thesisSimple]{review}{% \ofoot[\ttitle/\authorname]{\ttitle/\authorname} \ifoot[\today]{\today} }
