    })
    self.config = config

        self.label03.text = ""

if name == "main": LRefConfigAutomation().run()

Can you please also make a minimal, reproducible Example and then format your code as code? — JustLearnedIt
actually i'm unable to do that one ,i'm getting lot of errors ,could you please help me — BollamReddy

In CreateLabel, you need to move the creation part outside of the if condition: So this part

lbl = config.get('LefConfigWindowSection', 'NormalFolderName')
        self.label03 = Label(text=lbl, pos_hint={"center_x": .66, "center_y": .65}, size_hint=(1.0, 1.0),
                                 halign="left", valign="middle", font_name='Georgia')
        self.label03.bind(size=self.label03.setter('text_size'))
        self.label03.font_size = '14.5dp'
        self.root.add_widget(self.label03)

should be before if text == "Official":. Otherwise, you get an error because you haven't created self.label03. Complete CreateLabel:

def CreateLable(self, spinner, text):
        config = self.config
        lbl = config.get('LefConfigWindowSection', 'NormalFolderName')
        self.label03 = Label(text=lbl, pos_hint={"center_x": .66, "center_y": .65}, size_hint=(1.0, 1.0),
                                 halign="left", valign="middle")
        self.label03.bind(size=self.label03.setter('text_size'))
        self.label03.font_size = '14.5dp'
        self.root.add_widget(self.label03)
        if text == "Official":            
            with self.label03.canvas:
                Color(0, 0, 0, 0)
                Rectangle(pos=self.label03.pos, size=self.label03.size)
        elif text == "Normal":
            self.label03.text = ""

There's another problem in CreateLabel:

self.label03 = Label(...)

Everytime you call CreateLabel, self.label03 is assigned a new Label, not the first one. So instead of hiding the first one you're creating a new one and hiding this. There are multiple ways to solve but here's one:

def build(self):
    ... # add these two lines to create the Label once
    self.CreateLabel()  
    root.add_widget(self.label03)
    # Use another function (UpdateLabel) to update the value
    self.requestsspinner.bind(text=show_selected_value)
    self.requestsspinner.bind(text=self.UpdateLable)
    ...

# Only called once to create the Label
def CreateLabel(self):
    self.label03 = Label(text="", pos_hint={"center_x": .66, "center_y": .65}, size_hint=(1.0, 1.0),
                             halign="left", valign="middle")
    self.label03.bind(size=self.label03.setter('text_size'))
    self.label03.font_size = '14.5dp' 
    with self.label03.canvas:
        Color(0, 0, 0, 0)
        Rectangle(pos=self.label03.pos, size=self.label03.size)

# Changes the Label 
def UpdateLable(self, spinner, text):        
    if text == "Official":
        config = self.config
        self.label03.text =  config.get('LefConfigWindowSection', 'NormalFolderName')            
    elif text == "Normal":
        self.label03.text = ""
