Note: From unix server side i am able to create folders with capital letters...

a bit more info would be helpful - version of samba being used, windows version, unix flavour.

Also a copy of your smb.conf file to see how it's currently setup.

I am not promising it will solve the problem but you could try the following entry in your smb.conf file under your share specific parameter settings:-

case sensitive = yes

and then stop and start smbd

Shalom,

What version of Samba?

I believe this may be fixed with a later version of samba.
