Hi ,
Apex code runs in system context. In system context, Apex code has access to all objects and fields— object permissions, field-level security, sharing rules aren’t applied for the current user.
Use the with sharing keywords when declaring a class to enforce the sharing rules that apply to the current user.
Use the without sharing keywords when declaring a class to ensure that the sharing rules for the current user are not enforced.

If this answer help,Please mark it as best answer to help others :)

Hi ganeesh,
          First you have to notice one thing that with sharing of apex is not at all related to the sharing rule.

1) Sharing rule is used to just extend the access defined in OWD criteria for an user for a particular object's records.

2) and the apex sharing rule dealing with enforcing  the sharing rules that apply to the current user. That means when a user is using the class the sharing rules are aplicable to the user (or) not.

thanks.
