Comment:

 Hi @Aamir.cs.

 I've tested this behaviour using the default theme (Twenty Sixteen) and
 `is_user_logged_in()` correctly returns `false` when viewing an author
 archive. It's most likely that your theme's `author.php` file is
 overwriting the `$current_user` global which is used to determine the
 current user.

 If you can't get to the bottom of the problem, you should post a thread in
 the [https://wordpress.org/support Support Forums] or on
 [http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/ WordPress Stack Exchange].
