You're using GUIDE and SUBPLOT()??
Why not just make the axes in GUIDE?

I want to add legend dynamically on each subplot & the number of subplot is not predefined, it may be 10 or 20 or 25 like that.

Each subplot is a unique axis. The legend command lets you specify the axis where the legend will be created:
"LEGEND(AX,...) puts a legend on the axes with handle AX."
So if you get the axis handles when you create the subplots you can then specify the legend for each subplot.

legend('peaks');
subplot(122);
