PSD support in GIMP is based on an old version of the PSD format specification (the current one is locked away in the Adobe Photoshop SDK and can't be used with Free software, in my opinion).

There's also a number of known bugs in regard to PSD support, i.e. do not expect that any program will be able to read some PSD files written by GIMP.

And I Have to read which part of GIMP SourceCode?

http://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/plug-ins/file-psd

When reusing code from there, pay attention to the license:

the GNU General Public License Version 3 is what grants you permission to use the code in the first places, but also enforces the rules you'll have to follow. See http://www.gnu.org/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html for an introduction.

Hello dear,

Apart from using GIMP's code you might like investigating other possibilities like libpsd and code.goole.com projects [2].
