hope can provide more information:

brower type? FF2/IE6/IE7?
all taxonomy page face error? or only part of the pages?
do you take any custom change to the theme? or just use it directly?

Browser : FF2, IE6,. I dont klnow about IE 7
Not sure if it's all taxonomy pages, It's happening here - http://www.summiters.net/main/classification/trekking/new-plans and it's not happening here - http://www.summiters.net/main/classification/travel/latest-packages
Much of data is yet to be entered and I really dont want this problem to haunt me.

3. I'm pretty much using the theme as it came, just a couple of things with the header and nothing else.. I just tried it out with the old stylesheet and the problem persists.

i check your source code in http://www.summiters.net/main/classification/trekking/new-plans and found the following lines:

<div align="left">Location : Belgaum, Karnataka<br />
<p class="MsoNormal" align="left">Trekking along the swift rivers in the western ghats. The vajrapoha or vajrada avalakki houses some of the most rare and exotic endangered species in the state. Surrounded by the bogs of development, yet this pristine water fall retains some anonymity and is nowhere choked as some of the others are.<span> </span></p>

the problem is: you open a <div align="left"> but miss the </div>. this break the cascading of theme CSS, and so right region move to wrong location. please double check your custom content.

Thats the original content of the post thats got updated in that taxonomy page. This post iself is displaying properly.. Thats because the

tag is closed there... However it's not so in the taxonomy pages..
The taxonomy page only shows an excerpt from the post with the read more link and probably only picks up tags until the end of the excerpt it picks.. and doesn't bother to close open tags... I dont believe I've any control to make a direct html edition to this taxonomy page itself to fix it.

I'm right i hope..can anything be done about this ?

so the reason is quite simple: taxonomy page uses teaser view (which is trimmed), where node page uses full body view. since this trim is done automatically by drupal core, it will not consider if there are any tags which is not yet closed. therefore, your content broken the theme :(

there are 2 solution: may be set the length of teaser to unlimited, or manually close your tags before the break of teaser.

for the first case, go to ?q=admin/content/node-settings (drupal-5.x) and configure the teaser length to unlimited. on the other hand, you can manually insert  into the content body in order to control where to break the content as teaser. you can get more ideas in ?q=filter/tips

for second case, if the auto trim length is 300, please manually close any dangerous tags before the limit. it is much simple, but less flexible. BTW, i will suggest you to use the first solution ;-)
