        Hi Bilal

        Log in to Google webmaster tools and navigate to "optimization", then, url removal; Enter the URL you want to delete and wait some days!!!

        Kind regards

                "I do not wanted to rank home page for that particular keyword only."

                This does not make sense in English.

                I would suggest removing the keyword on the page in question, and resubmit the url to Google / Yahoo / MSN. This may take a few weeks to get corrected.

                You don't want to remove the URL from the Search Engines because then you will never show up no matter what keywords you're trying to rank for.

                  You may have internal and external anchor text links the point to the home page with that particular text. You will need to change the text of these links.
