Solution to the Problem:-

I solved the problem by myself. I am posting this solution for my future reference and in case it helps somebody having the same requirement.

The javascript was modified so that the Name and Score could be accessed from the json data. They were stored in the 'name' and 'score' arrays which were passed to the chart option object in order to render the highchart.

var app = angular.module('charts', []);

app.directive('highchart', function () {
return {
    restrict: 'E',
    template: '<div></div>',
    replace: true,

    link: function (scope, element, attrs) {

        scope.$watch(function () { return attrs.chart; }, function () {

            if (!attrs.chart) return;

            var charts = JSON.parse(attrs.chart);

            $(element[0]).highcharts(charts);

        });
    }
};
});


app.controller('Ctrl', function ($scope, $http, $timeout) {
$http.get('http://localhost:1234/abc/pqr').success(function (data, status) {

    var score = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
        score.push(data[i].Score);   
    }

    var name = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
        name.push(data[i].Name);
    }

    $scope.renderChart = {
        chart: {
            type: 'bar'
        },
        xAxis: {
            categories: name
        },
        series: [{
            data: score
        }],
        legend: {
            enabled: false
        }
    };
}).error("error message");
$timeout($scope.fetch, 1000);
});
