Almost all discussions of Use Cases and UC templates eventually lead to Cockburns work. He makes some templates available in various formats on http://www.usecases.org . I usually use a template based around this, but prefer something a bit lighter.
I would emphasise that the real value of use cases is in the boring stuff - the text, the steps, the paragraphs. A template can be useful (especially to remind you of missing information), but it should not be the focus. I would not spend too long working on a template or even a use case model. Start writing the use cases, and get a clear idea of the system you will be building.
regards,
paul.

Amit,
May be the Template provided by Craig Larman in his book - Applying UML and Patterns may be of some help to you.If you are looking at some information as to how you should develop use cases then the book by Schneider and Winters - Applying Use Cases may be useful.
Regards,
Sandeep
