But for some spacific requirement few more Data I want to show in that control. but only in some spacific pages.

I only want to show the new added control inside the Custom Control in some spacific pages only. Please help me out. Gnyanendra

There are different ways to do this. One of them is in your view session or application state you can have a flag and set that flag to true on the pages when you want to display additional information and false on pages where you dont want to display additional information (OnPrerender or other event that fires before controls are being rendered). Now your custom control should check this flag and if its true then display the information otherwise not.
