Welcome to the community.  Can you verify that your customer "Sathish" already have an valid account in your JSM project env? If the custom is yourself (in this test case), can you see if you can create an issue via the portal UI on your own behalf?

The user exists in the project but even if it exists i am unable to create a ticket on behalf of that user via API but via the Jira portal i am able to do that

Which account do you used to establish the connection with your API session?
