Paresh,

That means that your Windows desktop is using depth 24 at 32 bits-per-pixel,
not depth 32 - depth refers to the number of bits of actual colour
information per pixel, while bits-per-pixel refers to the size of data
element used to store the pixel values.

The standard format for the "Highest (32-bit)" setting in Windows is 8 bits
for each of the red, green and blue components, with the 8 remaining bits
unused(*).

(*)  Actually, they might be used for alpha-channel, Z-buffer or other
auxilliary data, but in VNC-land, we normally just count the RGB bits
towards the "depth".
