In the above model i have foo:supCodeList which is using "LIST" constriant. For this metadata i have hardcoded the values like a101, a102 etc. I don't want to hardcode those values and i want to read those values from the csv file. How to do this sir?

Thanks and Regards,
Sachin Bhat.

The list of values can be maintained in a database or as a set of nodes in Alfresco. It does require adding a custom constraint type to your Alfresco installation. This is the reference:
