Riyaj,

The key is the "instance X" option. Oracle documentation is not clear on this.
The only thing I find at this time is in 8i OPS Admin Guide:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/A87860_01/doc/paraserv.817/a76970/partfrls.htm
"Unused space you have allocated to an instance using the ALLOCATE EXTENT
command cannot be deallocated. This is because it exists below the high water
mark."

I have a test done with a non-ASSM tablespace:

It may not apply if you use ASSM.
