have you check output of this code? @LAKSHMANAN ADAIKKAPPAN

Certainly I have checked the output of the code. If you prefer to see the full 0 to 14 and 0 to 16, change the graph to use that, such as
plot(0:16, 14 * rand(1,17))
and you might want to set the axis location as well,
set(gca, 'ydir', 'reverse', 'xaxislocation', 'top')
This could be taken further to get rid of the tick marks but leave the tick labels. The ease of doing that would depend upon the MATLAB version being used.

UPDATE 1:
may try this
plot(1:10)
box off
axes('xlim', [1 10], 'ylim', [1 10], 'color', 'none', 'YAxisLocation', 'right', 'XAxisLocation', 'top')
for reading read here
or may try this
t=0:0.1:10;
y=sin(t);
plot(t,y)
set(gca,'XAxisLocation','top','YAxisLocation','left','ydir','reverse');

plot(1:10, 1:10);
axis ij
Or if you have the handle of your axes object already, change its YDir property to 'reverse' as Walter showed.
