No need to worry, the issue has been resolved! Silly mistake was made on my part!
@ganesh,
in addition to checking the response status, it would also be helpful to inspect the response JSON text to confirm whether or not your edit has been completed successfully.
using fiddler (or browser developer tools) find the request passed to the applyEdits operation of your particular feature service layer and inspect the response itself to make sure that it includes '"success":true' (see attached screenshot).
