To achive this process, I have developed following VF page.

<apex:page Controller="Redirect_Main2" action="{!Redirect_Main}">
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock >
            <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!accs}" var="a" >
                <apex:column value="{!a.Id}"/>
                <apex:column value="{!a.Name}"/>
                <apex:column value="{!a.Phone}"/>
                <apex:column value="{!a.Industry}"/>
                <apex:column id="two">
                    <apex:commandButton value=" Edit " onclick="window.open('/{!a.id}')" reRender="two"/>
<!--/e?retURL=%2F{!a.id}&_CONFIRMATIONTOKEN=VmpFPSxNakF4Tmkwd055MHlPVlF3T1Rvek5qb3dPQzQ0TnpaYSxvTFl3eklmdmNBcjl6RlVDeDRWUnBtLE9XWTJNbU01&common.udd.actions.ActionsUtilORIG_URI=%2F{!a.id}%2Fe')" reRender="two"/>
   -->             </apex:column>
            </apex:pageBlockTable>
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>
Controller:
public class Redirect_Main2 {

   public List<Account> accs { get; set; }
    public PageReference Redirect_Main(){
        accs = [select id,name,phone,Industry from account];       
        return null;
     }
}
 


But this is taking me to detailed page of the record but not edit page. Please tell me neccessary actions which i need to take.

Thanking you

Hi KS Kumaar,

After saving the record it'll redirect you to home page because there is no return url in current URL.
So for redirecting it to detail page you must have to set record Id on retURL attribute. 
try this one:
<apex:commandButton value=" Edit " onclick="window.open('/{!a.id}/e?retURL={!a.id}')" reRender="two"/>

Hello Ks Kumar,

you can also use like below to achive the functionality
 
<apex:outputLink value="{!URLFOR($Action.Account.Edit,a.Id,['retURL'=cancelDestination, 'saveURL'=saveDestination],true)}">
                <apex:outputText value="Edit"/>
            </apex:outputLink>
Let me know if it helps.

Thanks

Hi KS Kumaar,

It need a little change on your CommandButton :
<apex:commandButton value=" Edit " onclick="window.open('/{!a.id}/e')" reRender="two"/>
use the above code it'll work.

Thanks

Hi Virendra Chouhan,

I got a doubt. Could you please explain it.
As you said i change modification in commandbutton by using return url like and it is working good.

<apex:commandButton value=" Edit " onclick="window.open('/{!a.id}/e?retURL={!a.id}')" reRender="two"/>

But i found another return which is just used %2F like below and and it is also working good.

<apex:commandButton value=" Edit " onclick="window.open('/{!a.id}/e?retURL=%2F{!a.id}')" reRender="two"/>

So, what my doubt is what is the differnce between both URLs even they are giving same result rather than changing URLs while getting saved?
