1. Introduction

The fundamental work in metric fixed point theory, by Stefan Banach in 1922 is famous as Banach Contraction Principle and found many applications viz., in proving the existence and uniqueness of solutions of Differential, Integral, Integro-Differential, Impulsive differential equations, etc. A number of authors introduced different contractive type mappings and proved many fixed point theorems extending the theory. B.E.Rhoades ^[1], Paula Collaco and Jaime Carvalho E Silva ^[2] compared various definitions of contractive mappings. In 2007, Huang and Zhang ^[3] introduced the concept of cone metric spaces by replacing the codomain with Banach spaces in a metric function whose range satisfy the properties of a cone. Subsequently, Abbas and Jungck ^[4], Abbas and Rhoades ^[5] have studied common fixed point theorems in cone metric spaces for normal cones with the assumption of normality. Sh.Rezapour and R.Hamlbarani ^[6] proved some fixed point theorems for any cone, omitting the assumption of normality. Recently, several authors have proved and proving many common fixed point theorems. See [7-12]^[7]. The purpose of this paper is to prove the common fixed point theorems for all cones which were proved by Abbas and Jungck in ^[4] only for normal cones.

The following definitions are taken from ^{[3, 4, 5]}. In the entire paper, E and R represents Banach space and Real Numbers respectively.
