Hi Prabhakar,
You trying to merge bBox? I believe there is no script will do.
You can try this simple script to merge bBox, it will get the biggest/smallest point of 2 input bBox and compile a new bBox for it.
produre( MergeBBox(bbox1 bbox2)
    let((x1 y1 x2 y2)
        if( leftEdge(bbox1) <= leftEdge(bbox2)
            x1 = leftEdge(bbox1)
            x1 = leftEdge(bbox2)
        )
        if( bottomEdge(bbox1) <= bottomEdge(bbox2)
            y1 = bottomEdge(bbox1)
            y1 = bottomEdge(bbox2)
         )
         if( rightEdge(bbox1) <= rightEdge(bbox2)
             x2 = rightEdge(bbox2)
             x2 = rightEdge(bbox1)
          )
          if( topEdge(bbox1) <= topEdge(bbox2)
              y2 = topEdge(bbox2)
              y2 = topEdge(bbox1)
           )
           list(x1:y1 x2:y2)
    )
)if
