thanks sumitran for reply,

but is speedy apostille possible from being in muscat or shall I have to send it to india for same?. and also approx. cost for the same.( I paid around 7000/- INR in india for me)

and also do I have to get apostille done for birth certificate of my 4 yr kid also for his visa?

Yes, you can get it done from Muscat. There is a private business doing this work out of an office in OC Centre in Ruwi, besides the roundabout which will send the original documents to India and get the needful done. Cost of course would come at a premium and basis how soon you wish to get the job done.

Yes. The Birth Certificate also needs to get attested.
