This means that sudo is not switching to root for this particular user and/or command.
What is it configured to allow?

i have configure in sudoers file

/usr/bin/su - kumar

Does it check to see that the "-c ..." is different?

Does sudo check for an exact match of the command and ALL the options or only a prefix match?

Does your "/usr/bin/su - kumar" allow:
sudo su - kumar -c "id"
sudo su - kumar -c "cd /home/kumar/lic && /path/to/lmstat lic"
