Could anybody suggest me how can i copy a file from windows machine into RHEL5 machine ? Like we use 'Cygwin' and 'SCP command' in the vice-versa case, do we have any such tool in this case as well?

You don't say what you've already got set up, but if you're using SCP now, that should work both ways. You could always set up Samba services, and just copy files that way, or use SMBmount to mount a shared Windows folder over the network.
You didn't say if you had SAMBA setup or not. If you want to copy files from the Linux machine to M$ or vice versa you could use 'WinSCP' for the M$. 'WinSCP' is a free SFTP/FTP and SCP client for M$.
If you want to copy using the Linux machine then I suggest that you setup 'SAMBA'. The 'SMB-HOWTO' is a good starting point.

you can download pscp.exe by itself as well but i have to say i agree with most of the other posters that samba is probably the way to go since it will alleviate some of the typing.
