But m not getting in which part of my controller i should paste this code? Please help me....

Try $this->Session->destroy(); The destroy method will delete the session cookie and all session data stored in the temporary file system. check this link

You're getting redirected because it's not allowed, not because of the redirect in your logout function. You need to allow the use of the logout function too, in the beforefilter of your controller (CakePHP 2):

$this->allow('logout');

you dont want to kill the session. only to log the user out!

$this->Session->delete('Auth');

otherwise you destroy cookies and other user defined settings which would be pretty annoying (language, ...)

but the official cake way would be:

$this->redirect($this->Auth->logout());
