Resolution
===========
# Installed the June Cumulative update for SharePoint 2010 and completed the configuration wizard successfully.

# Compared the web.config file of  SharePoint web services website >> GUID of UPA and found there are lot of differences.

# Replaced the web.config file from my test server (Location C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0\WebServices\Profile) on the problematic server.

# Checked the User profile sync service account permission and added the account Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access” and “Windows Authorization Access” groups in Active directory.

# Ran IISRESET /noforce and we found that the User Profile Sync Service was started.
