Dheeraj, When you run any code as a service with the default local system account it does not have permissions to use network shares.
You could try running the service using a specific user account which has access to the share or alternatively load the file using ftp, http or some other protocol which does not require user authentication. You would then need to have an ftp server or webserver etc running on the file server machine.
