We used to receive message in Approval Process Comments that "Auto-Submitted by controller for Approval." but right now we have to manually submit it. It's working fine in manual Approval. 

Somehow it stopped working through Controller. Let me know if you need more details to understand it better. 

What do you suggest. 

Thanks in advance.

Yes I found solution afterward. Salesforce done a bug fixes a month ago where approval will check two fields Initial Submitter as well as Entry Criteria. Since my approval was triggered by Apex code and Record Creator is not always Case owner so System was not able to find any approval. I had added Initial Submitters in Approval as RECORD CREATOR along with Case Owner and that solved the problem. Try this and let me know for any problem. Thanks, Himanshu

Yes that was the issue, I added Record creator for the initial submitter and it worked :) Thank you so much I suspected that the issue was not coding because there was no code change and the functionality stopped working all of sudden. 
Thanks again for the quick response as well.

Also, it will be good if you can point out what was the change from SF a month ago on about Approvals
