I have one Readynas 31400 running with 4 Seagate HDDs (2Tb each). All HDDs are of model ST2000VX008-2E3164. Every time I boot it, booting process is being stuck on Booting.... (4 Dots). After Hard...

forced shutdown or preferred? See 72-73 here: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNAS_%20OS6_Desktop_HM_EN.pdf
Also, do you see the same behavior if you shut down from the web ui?

Yes. I am doing the preferred shutdown only. But first time when it is being stuck, I am doing Force Shutdown because at that time network service is also not started. Also the problem occurs if I am doing shutdown through Web UI. Attached image for your reference.
