1) You have a space in a LABEL.  This makes it unusable at the command
line.  I'd suggest something like the following:

LABEL test-img-iso-file
  MENU LABEL ** ^TEST IMG/ISO File.

2) Based on #1, I'm left to assume you're using (vesa)menu.c32.  Is this
true?

3) HOW does it fail?  What unexpected behavior do you observe?

Done the needful and is as follows;
 
LABEL test-img-iso-file
  MENU LABEL ** ^TEST IMG/ISO File.
  kernel /test/memdisk 
 initrd  test/filename.iso                            
 append  iso    
   #  [if not use iso raw] 
TEXT HELP
[Tab] >Use (i) iso  initrd=test/filename.iso OR (ii)
initrd=test/filename.extn
 
However sorry to say it FAILS as before.

Yes I am using vesamenu.c32.

Simply Returns back to "Bootable Menu" without any messages.

Hello,
 
Changed to as follows and Now it works OK.
 
LABEL test-img-iso-file
 MENU LABEL ** ^TEST IMG/ISO File.
 TEXT HELP
 # [Tab] >Use (i) iso  initrd=/test/filename.iso OR (ii)
 # initrd=/test/filename.extn
 #  [if not use iso raw] 
 ENDTEXT
  kernel /test/memdisk 
  initrd /test/filename.iso                            
  append iso    
 
Thanks again.

Sounds like you working directory is different.
