I want to hide Navigation panel if there is no bookmarks are available.
I tried using create new action and execute javascript code:

function HideNavigation(bm){

	if (bm == null) {
		this.viewState = {overViewMode:1}
	}
	return;
}

HideNavigation(this.bookmarkRoot.children);

Action runs perfectly and I saved the file but once I reopen the document still it shows Navigation.
Any idea to resolve the issue ?

PS. Your code is unnecessarily complicated. You can replace it with this single line:

if (this.bookmarkRoot.children == null) this.viewState = {overViewMode:1};

In Adobe acrobat pro I created a action and by using option 'Exceute Javascript' I have added code in that.

Actions only execute when you, well, execute them... If you want the code to run when the file is opened you have to embed it in it. Go to Tools - JavaScript - Document JavaScripts and place your code there.
