These are not duplicate, they are overlapping. they also have different properties (color etc) so likely what ever you are using to delete duplicate objects will not recognize them as duplicates. 

If you need to delete only red objects in your drawing you can use quick select and isolate for color. 

can can also try selecting all objects and makings them the same color and the putting them on the same layer and use the JOIN command or OVERKILL command to try to help remove some of the geometry, but if the programs sees them as different elements its likely not going to delete them with out your direction.

Hi mayu.mayurkale,

@TheCADnoob is correct in that these are not truly duplicate objects. They seem to have different properties such as length and color.

I suggest trying the OVERKILL command to remove duplicates but if it doesn't consider them duplicates then the Join is the next command you might want to try.

Lastly, if those commands don't work, select one of the lines and then using a crossing or window selection select all the lines. You can now erases the lines but first removing the first line by using the previous option.

Selection cycling is another alternative to select the line you want. With selection cycling on, you will get a dialog box listing (in this case) the three overlapping lines when you select. You can then click on the red line from the list and then erase it.
