To use that property you will need to use a WKWebView instead of a UIWebView. This will limit you to supporting iOS8+.

Once you switch to using the WKWebView all you need to do is set the property on WKPreferences to false, and then set the WKWebViewConfiguration

In Swift this looks something like this:

let prefs = WKPreferences()
prefs.javaScriptEnabled = false

let config = WKWebViewConfiguration()
config.preferences = prefs

let webView = WKWebView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100), configuration: config)

Instead of using WKWebview is there a possibility I use UIWebview only,because I have certain tasks which are there in web view call back method..so I will have to make lot more changes I guess.

There is no API available for doing this with a UIWebView. You'll have to swap it to the WKWebView instead I'm afraid or provide a link to another webpage that doesn't have any javascript on there.
