It is difficult to solve "this" with the very limited information you have provided. I suggest you first read this. Then you create a new question with more information. Like what the actual current consumption is, more details of what you are doing in your application, and how.

I get what you are saying thank you. I am using MPU 9250 with nordic so there is continuous flow of data since it is motion data and its draining battery very fast so i tried to turn off tx and rx whenever we don't need data since transceiver is the power hungry component in nordic 51822. Is there any other way to solve this,?

When the SoftDevice is enabled some peripherals are blocked/restricted. See Section 11.3 in the S110 SoftDevice spec. The radio is blocked, so trying to access this will cause a hard fault. If you are not connected to anything and you are not doing advertising the radio will not be used, you don't need to "turn it off".
