I'm closer to my requirement. I have found gitweb simply provide a GUI  for history check
and code comparison. And the git itself is good enough to do the ACL stuff with hooks.

I already have the following code to deploy the push into its work-tree

You should try gitolite.  It has very flexible rules,
and it's already been implemented for you ;-)

https://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite

===========================
#!/bin/bash

while read oldrev newrev ref
do
  branch=`echo $ref | cut -d/ -f3`

  if [ "master" == "$branch" ]; then
    git --work-tree=/path/under/root/dir/live-site/ checkout -f $branch
    echo 'Changes pushed live.'
  fi

  if [ "dev" == "$branch" ]; then
    git --work-tree=/path/under/root/dir/dev-site/ checkout -f $branch
    echo 'Changes pushed to dev.'
  fi
done
=========================

This code can be extended for as many branches as you have.

I now need a mechanism to restrict the user to it's own branch so that user can't push into
any other branch in mistake.

Say I have

master branch -> only admin user can push here.
dev branch -> only user dev1 , dev2  and master can push here.
testing branch -> only user test1 and test2 can push here.

I think this can also be done with pre-receive hook. Any suggestion on the hook design is
welcome. Also this can be implemented on the above hook or in a separate hook.
A separate hook is better due to maintainability and then I need to call multiple
pre-receive hook. Please suggest.

Thanks

Right, but that's R/W permissions. Almost any piece of Git hosting
software supports restriction of pushes. Discriminating *read* access
between developers and maintenance people sounds like a disaster if it's
the same organisation.

Just restriction on push access is what required.
