In my report, some chapter headings are long and they come in more than one line. The spacing between them is not aesthetically appealing. I need to reduce that line spacing. Kindly suggest a solution.

Welcome to TeX.sx! Please add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. It will be much easier for us to reproduce your situation and find out what the issue is when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. – doncherry Nov 27 '12 at 7:02

The following def is from report.cls and \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{0.85} has been added. Adjust the stretch to your taste. It is probably better to have shorter chapter titles.

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\@makechapterhead[1]{%
  \vspace*{50\p@}%
  {\parindent \z@ \raggedright \normalfont
    \ifnum \c@secnumdepth >\m@ne
        \huge\bfseries \@chapapp\space \thechapter
        \par\nobreak
        \vskip 20\p@
    \fi
    \interlinepenalty\@M
    \Huge
    \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{0.85}
     \bfseries #1\par\nobreak
    \vskip 40\p@
  }}
\makeatother
