In my case , the selected file and folder pasteboard type is the same and I cannot determine whether the selected item in the Finder is a file or folder during the validation process(This is before the actual service gets invoked i.e when the services menu is being shown to the user )?

You can only validate by the type in your service validation method, not the contents of the pasteboard.
You can switch to using more specific UTIs for our service (if you only, for example, want to accept a file, folder, or package). You can also use NSRequiredContext in your service specification to restrict service availability based on pasteboard content.
