Shikha,
The question that you are asking and the example that you are providing are not clear. You should first read the help file for -ivregress- and I would also suggest looking through the resources that are available in the -ivreg2- help file (available for download from SSC). Most econometrics texts will also explicitly advise you not to estimate the model like you did in your second example. Last, the estimator that you should select for your analysis will rarely be a matter of some blanket application and would depend strongly on the data that you have and the assumptions you are willing to make.
HTH,
Billy
