in our hostapd.config file countrycode -JP & chennel-12 is set
in iw reg get command also shown country jp & related
 channel
then why this error come

please give me a reply soon

Hello,

That question is already answered by Jouni.

Copying from your previous conversation with him:
? ? ? ? in our iw list
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 2467 mhz [12] (16.0 dbm)(passive scanning)
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 2472 mhz [13] (16.0 dbm)(passive scanning)

You can see that channels 12 and 13 are marked as "passive scanning".
Hostapd can't operate on channel which is marked "DFS required",
"passive scanning" or "IBSS prohibited".
Check hostapd_get_hw_features() for this code.

I would suggest you to take a
 look at your WLAN driver, and find out why those
channels are marked as "passive scanning".

P.S: I hope you have strong reason to put AP on channel 12. Good practice is to
put APs on channels 1, 6 and 11. In that way they won't interfere with
each other.
Otherwise you're introducing interference which is impossible to avoid,
because WLAN CS function (on 2.4GHz, unless CS energy sense is ON,
which is unlikely)
looks only for a valid preamble, and for sure you can't decode OFDM
preamble from channel 12
when you're tuned to channel 11.
