Lock Batch records

Hi, 
Is it possible to lock records which are being processed by Batch?
Or Is there a way to restrict the user from edit when the records are processed through batch?

Thanks in advance

Hi Bajrang,

Follow the below steps - 
1. create one new field on Object say "Is Checked?"
2.Update this field to TRUE in your Batch Job.
3.Write a Validation Rule with code as below - 
  PRIORVALUE( Is_Checked__c) = TRUE && Is_Checked__c = TRUE

If someone tries to edit this record when Is checked = true, it will throw an error.
