 * do not copy any functions from the parent functions.php into the child functions.
   php unless they are **pluggable**;

 * what theme are you using?
    what are you trying to achieve?

 * Hi dheeru46

   > in/home/ on line 1785
 * This means that it is already defined in parent function and you cannot redeclare
   in child theme.
    Refer [this](http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/a-guide-to-overriding-parent-theme-functions-in-your-child-theme--cms-22623)
   article it will help you a lot. Report if any confusion.
