Sir,Thanks for the reply.
Permission for the user orange for the directory is set with rwx also when the the user orange does login through the terminal with
su - orange
user orange is able to cd to the Company_Secretarial and create files or directory and delete as well.
But while accessing from the samba share of his home directory he is unable to access the soflink directory.
As this is an suse enterprise linux iam not finding selinux.
attached sambaconfig and auditlog for your reference below posted var/logmessages

Add the follow symlinks and wide links into the[users] definition block.
The difficulty might be that /user/Company has no meaning to the system where the share is mounted.
What about the samba log? The audit logs reflects errors dealing with samba, but does not seem that it is in any way interfering with the partition traversal.

Do you have selinux enabled? What is the context on the /users/Company_Secretarial
Are there any events recorded in /var/log/messages /var/log/audit/audit.log?
how about samba logs?
