Hi all,
   I could solve it myself.
   Just FI, if somebody else faces the same issue.
   The issue was that I had installed many other 3rd party tools. One
of those (I havent found out which - later it is going to bite me )
has overridden the _imaging.pyd (in linux it would be _imaging.so)
file in PythonXX/DLLs directory with its version. I deleted the
_imaging.pyd and _imaginft.pyd from PythonXX/DLLs and now PIL takes
the data from site-packages/PIL/_imaging.pyd itself.

Regards
K
