My Bag file is taken from lidar and that file contains the following information.

    path:        file2.bag
    version:     2.0
    duration:    3:47s (227s)
    start:       Nov 08 2012 16:19:48.77 (1352371788.77)
    end:         Nov 08 2012 16:23:36.39 (1352372016.39)
    size:        1.6 GB
    messages:    28305

    topics:      /GPSFix                  11383 msgs    : gps_common/GPSFix         
                 /InertialData            11383 msgs    : augv_msgs/InertialData    
                 /basler_node/image_raw    2590 msgs    : sensor_msgs/Image         
                 /velodyne_packets         2949 msgs    :velodyne_msgs/VelodyneScan

/GPSFIX contains Latitude and longitude informations. I want to play the bag file from specific latitude and logitude value. How should i do this?

You can start playing file from specific time with parameter -s, but you will have to find this time yourself. It can be done either manually or via rosbag API. Basically, you will have to iterate through all the messages and test them against necessary conditions, e.g. GPS coordinates. For this kind of tasks I personally prefer Python, but there is C++ API as well. You can find some code snippets here.

For details on rosbag play commandline usage, please see rosbag/Commandline/play.

I would suggest that you filter your bag file, using your desired latitude/longitude as arguments for the filter, and then play the new bag file. more info on how to filter bag files, can be found in this question, for example.
