As per the legislative changes introduced in the points system from the 1st of September, 2007, if you gain 7 or more then 7 in ALL modules of IELTS, then, you score 25 points.
When I first appeared in the IELTS test in Sept, 2004 in Pakistan, I scored more then 7 in all modules of IELTS in the academic version of the test.
While applying for residency in 2007, I was very much confident that I would score more then 7 in all modules of IELTS on the first go, however, to my surprise, I was unable to score 7 in all modules and was constantly getting 6.5 in the reading module.
Finally on the third attempt, I achieved above 7 band in all modules of IELTS and got through the exam. I actually got 8.5 in listening, 9 in reading, 9 in speaking and 8 in writing.
Word of Advice
Do not take the IELTS exam lightly, even if you are really confident of your English language skills. It can become a real big hurdle. For those who have a weakness in a particular area of the English language should prepare well before the exam.
IELTS can become a real pain in the neck without any reason.
Do not take it lightly and be well prepared for it.

Ishika, All I can suggest is to practice. Dont loose heart. I know it is very frustrating and irritating when you are scoring so good in all others but just one module.
Since you are not able to score in writing which is more of a subjective module, you should apply for a re-checking of the writing module.
As it is not a multiple choice question module, you stand a chance of getting your grade raised to 7.
The link I have provided will take you to another page where you have 15 links to 15 files.

If i appear for an academic IELTS..will that be acceptable for PR purposes ?

You can give either academic or general version of the test.
Both are acceptable.
