Hello sudhirfromnoida,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I'd like you to please follow the article linked to below in order to help resolve this issue where your iPad is restarting unexpectedly.

Same issue with iPad 3 and a newer model iPad mini...things are really slow if they work and then it keeps rebooting. Apple, not a hardware issue. Fix the software.
What you should do is do your backups (with both iCloud and iTunes), and then reset your iPad back to its factory default condition ... just like when it was right off the factory floor. You need to use your iTunes program in order to "clean it out" and get a fresh system install. You don't really need to go back, but forward with a clean system.
The last link is the one for resetting your iPad with iTunes. The other links are about your backups, and because of iCloud not backing up your pictures now, you should do an iTunes backup now, in addition to an iCloud one, if you're already doing that.
