Duplicate result

Question

I am writing a query in SQL server2005. This is returning me a duplicate rows in the result. Can i eliminate this duplication with a particular column as the key?

As you have pointed out in the comments, you are using a stored procedure. One way to handle this case is to create a temporary table which you populate using the stored procedure. Then select the results from the temporary table and prune the duplicates with either SELECT DISTINCT or GROUP BY.
