Deepak,

Here is some code that works under both Mma 2.2.3 and 3.0.

I plot something simple to work with:

	plt1=Plot[Sin[x],{x,-Pi,Pi}];

I then create some text to add to the plot; the coordinates determine the
location, of course

	txt1=Text["Sin[x]",{2,-2}];

I then plot the text

	txx1=Show[Graphics[{txt1}]];

I then combine them in one graph.

	res1=Show[plt1,txx1];

I can now do the same with another graph and text set, say res2.
Then I display the result in one graph:

	Show[GraphicsArray[{res1,res2}]]

the above shows the graphs horizontally (side by side}, or.

	Show[GraphicsArray[{{res1},{res2}}]]

the above shows the graphs vertically.

The list construction of the arguement to GraphicsArray permits you to show
matrices of graphs.

Hope this helps
