For each chapter I need to print different heading as chapter title and restart the page numbering for starting from 1.

The number of chapters are not known.

I tried setting the following page sequence :-
<fo:layout-master-set>
   <fo:simple-page-master
          master-name="document"
           page-height  ="297mm"
          page-width   ="210mm"
          margin-left  ="2mm"
          margin-right ="2mm">
        <fo:region-body margin-top="100mm" margin-bottom="5mm" />
        <fo:region-before extent="99mm"/>
         <fo:region-after extent="4mm"/>
  </fo:simple-page-master>
<fo:page-sequence-master master-name="chapter"> <xsl:for-each select="/document/chapter"> <fo:repeatable-page-master-reference master-reference="document" /> </xsl:for-each>

The above is not necessary ... you need only specify page-sequence-master if you have changing page region geometry or perimeter region content. Since you have but one page master, you can simply point to it.

   <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
        <fo:block break-before="page" />
        ......
   </fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
But it doesn't work. It is printing only one page even if there is a break specified.

A page-sequence begins a new page. In your block you are specifying "this block must begin a new page" ... that condition is satisfied, so there is no blank page. Specifying break-before= is specifying a condition to be met, not a command to be executed.

Is it the right way to apply different page sequence for different chapter?

You don't give a lot of context, but working from the root node you need only do:

  <xsl:for-each select="/document/chapter">
    <fo:page-sequence master-reference="document" initial-page-number="1">
      <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before">...
      <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after">...
      <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
        ....
      </fo:flow>
    </fo:page-sequence>
  </xsl:for-each>

I hope this helps.
