    our contractor says these cracks r due to shrinkage and also due to expansion or contraction of wooden frames

    Farooq, from the pics it doesn't look anything serious.

    Get them cleaned, grooved/scraped, sanded and then filled with Asian paints crack-fill and repaint.

    If they reappear or increase then you may need to get them examined by a professional.

    I just happened to see that you have panicked. Please don't.

    It's a fairly common phenomenon. These are not more than 2-4 mm wide and specially if they appear near openings windows or doors. Wait for a couple of months and then get them repaired as explained above.

    Hope this eases your mind.
