Hi,

 

In all lights, you have an option to check or uncheck Cast Shadows option,

But if you like to do it on an object basis, just select the object, right-click, Object Properties,

There you can uncheck the option: Cast Shadows.

Hey, I already did that. But after rendering, still there is shadow.

If you're talking about those encircled in red, I think these are reflections and not shadows

If that's the case you need to turn off the reflection of that material, or, also in the Object Properties

Mentioned in my previous reply, you can uncheck the option "Visible to Reflection/Refraction"

You didn't mention what rendering engine you're using, and the type of materials, lights, etc,...

But anyway check the reflectivity thing in the material editor or in the Object Properties.
