This is under personal preferences under the `interface` tab. Scroll down and make sure the option I underlined is unchecked

Thanks for the suggestion but still after unchecking, my pinned topics stay remain in-between posts. Is there any other way, we can make stay **Pinned Topics** at the top?

I have unchecked `Automatically unpin topics when I reach the bottom` and the situation still persist.

What you do not seem to understand here is that this is a user preference, so it is per user account.

You would need to edit your site settings to default all user accounts to the desired behavior, **then un-pin and re-pin** so every user account will have that topic forced back to top even if they read the topic before.
