In linux version the 24 bit audio source is displayed  as 32 bit whereas in windows version it displays correctly as 24 bit depth

MC will automatically pad playing audio to the max bit-depth your DAC supports on-the-fly by adding zeros (it's not doing any sort of dithering). I suppose it could depend on drivers on stuff, but for me with the various DACs I've used the max has always been 32-bit on both Windows and Linux (and macOS in the past).

I 'm referring to the input not the output of audio path pop-up message. The input should  display this: 48 kHz 24 bit 6ch from Source format truhd for the above example(highlighted in Standard view). Please note for 16bit audio depth , it correctly reports as 16 bit.

No Solution ?? Am i wrong in my assumption that for the Input path in Audio Path ,the info should report the actual property(i.e. actal unpadded bit depth of the audio as in Windows System) ?

You could look in the log. I'd guess it probably has to go through libav on linux, maybe not on windows.
