How can I block URL indexing by using Disallow:/
I didnt get it. The URL is not main website. still the URL is being redirected to the main landing page of the site. I dont know how to make sure that google does not index this particular URL.

The URL I am trying to block lands on the same page as our main URL lands. is there a way to block indexing on it without redirecting it to 404?
Could you clarify what you want.
Do you really want to stop Google from indexing your home page?
It sounds like a very bad move. Could you explain why you want to do that.

Basically the site was using the old url before. and then we rebuilded the site and also we changed the URL. so now we were required to redirect the old URL also to new site so that was being done. so now google is indexing the old ULR as duplicate URL. and that is creating issue.
Still not clear.
Could you provide some example urls with that description?
If you are redirecting the old url to the new url it should be a 301 redirect. This tells search engines to transfer their index from old to new. It your using any other form of redirect the transfer may not happen.
