Dear Uday,

In a usual spin-polarized calculation, there is no a dependence on 
angle, so no spin orientation. When you switch on the spin-orbit 
correction you obtain it and can point the direction in the input file 
case.inso :
WFFIL
  4  1  0                      llmax,ipr,kpot
  -10.0000   1.50000           emin,emax (output energy window)
    0.  0.  1.     direction of magnetization (lattice vectors) <--!!!
