How can I remove the peaks in the top channel shown in the image? They are noises. This image is from audacity

Have you tried Audacity's Noise Removal feature(s)?
This may be more of a 'click' than a 'noise' (looks like it), so perhaps you'll have better luck with the Audacity "Click Removal" features?
Example of what's on the page:
Sometimes an even better result can be obtained by zooming in (CTRL + 1) to near sample level and either silencing the click (Edit > Silence), or using the Draw Tool to smooth out the contours of the samples and so attenuate the click.

1it is a huge file 10 hours, so will it be practical to use this feature first of all ?– SivaApr 28, 2011 at 18:16
Truncating peaks like that can be done using the Limiter (Effect > Limiter).
You probably want to use a "Hard Limit", as only to affect the peaks. Also, you can of course use it multiple times in combination with Effect > Normalize to shrink those peaks while scaling up the remainder of the recording to cover the full volume range.
In case you haven't tried them yet, Effect > Leveller and Effect > Click Removal in Audacity might work here.
