It appears apparent that Tomcat is running as a service on my
Windows.
How can I try to stop Tomcat as a service and start manually ?
This is a Windows question. You need to know your platform.
It is just like any other Windows service. How do you stop any other service?
My confusion is that even if I have not started Tomcat explicitly than
also my ports are busy, after that if I change required port numbers
in server.xml for tomcat and than try to start it than again I get
same message saying that new port numbers are already in use and so
tomcat cannot start and so what is way to come out of this deadlock
kind of condition ?
Your service is set to start automatically. Just like any other Windows
service so set, it will start automatically.
In this respect it is just like any other Windows service.

Find Apache Tomcat, double click on it and set it to manual or disabled.
This is why I have come to respect operators more than programmers. (I am a
programmer myself, not an operator.) Software does not function in isolation.
It requires a computer and an operating system. Every program we write is
part of a gestalt. The best programmers do not stop with knowing how to
program; they learn about the environment and attain a degree of skill in
handling configuration, deployment, and other operations considerations.
Ados, you are definitely on the right track working with Tomcat like this.
Learn to master things like configuration files, deployment descriptors, and
the services configuration screens. When you get Tomcat singing like a bird
for you, go for a full-fledged Java EE application server like JBoss or
Glassfish. If you have hair, you'll be tearing it out in no time.
Seriously, it is good that you are wrestling with this type of issue. To be a
good Java developer requires knowing a heck of a lot more than Java.
