I want to write my cv with moderncv-Classic style. Can you tell me, how I can remove the horizontal line in the left of each section?

Here you go:

\RenewDocumentCommand{\section}{sm}{%
  \strut\sectionstyle{#2\hfill}%
  \par\nobreak\addvspace{1ex}\@afterheading
  }

The above code is the core of what is required. Now time for an MWE:
The MWE

\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{moderncv}
\moderncvstyle{classic}
\moderncvcolor{blue}
\usepackage{libertine}
\usepackage[left=1cm,right=1cm,top=1cm,bottom=1cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{kantlipsum}

\makeatletter
\RenewDocumentCommand{\section}{sm}{%
  \strut\sectionstyle{#2\hfill}%
  \par\nobreak\addvspace{1ex}\@afterheading
  }

\RenewDocumentCommand{\subsection}{sm}{
  \strut\subsectionstyle{#2}{\color{color1}{\subsectionfill}}%
  \par\nobreak\addvspace{0.5ex}\@afterheading}
%
\makeatother

\name{SUBHAM}{SONI}
\address{ABC}{XYZ}{PQR}
\phone[mobile]{1234567}

\begin{document}
\makecvtitle
\section{CAREER OBJECTIVE}
\kant[1]
\end{document}

  • Thank you! Can you pls me, where I have to put in the first Codex? The ModernCV file or the style file?

  • The first code must be put after your \usepackages commands , it has to begin with \makeatletter , then the code , followed by \makeatother. Then, your commands for the title like \name etc, then \begin{document} and end{document}. See the MWE for reference.@Aline

It largely depends on the style you are using (and on the version of moderncv) which is the reason why a MWE would be good.

Assuming you are using the latest version of moderncv and the classic or casual theme you can put

\makeatletter
\RenewDocumentCommand{\section}{sm}{%
  \par\addvspace{2.5ex}%
  \phantomsection{}% reset the anchor for hyperrefs
  \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{#2}%
  \parbox[t]{\hintscolumnwidth}{\strut\raggedleft\raisebox{\baseletterheight}{\rule{\hintscolumnwidth}{0ex}}}%
  \hspace{\separatorcolumnwidth}%
  \parbox[t]{\maincolumnwidth}{\strut\sectionstyle{#2}}%
  \par\nobreak\addvspace{1ex}\@afterheading}% to avoid a pagebreak after the heading
\makeatother

in your preamble (before \begin{document}) to get sections with an invisible bar or

\makeatletter
\RenewDocumentCommand{\section}{sm}{%
  \par\addvspace{2.5ex}%
  \phantomsection{}% reset the anchor for hyperrefs
  \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{#2}%
  {\strut\sectionstyle{#2}}%
  \par\nobreak\addvspace{1ex}\@afterheading}% to avoid a pagebreak after the heading
\makeatother

for removing the bar completely.
