 * This is what I see in your child’s theme style.css:
 *     ```
       /*
        Theme Name:   Twenty twelve Child
        Theme URI:    http://myfreelancelifestyle.com/twenty-twelve-child/
        Description:  Twenty twelve Child Theme
        Author:       venkatesh khajjidoni
        Author URI:   http://myfreelancelifestyle.com
        Template:     twentytwelve
        Version:      1.0.0
        Tags:         light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
        Text Domain:  twenty-twelve-child
       */
   
       /*
       For older themes, and themes that do not use wp_enqueue_style() to enqueue their stylesheet, use the following line where twentytwelve is the name of the directory where the theme resides:
   
       @import url("../twentytwelve/style.css");
       */
   
       /* =Theme customization starts here
       -------------------------------------------------------------- */
   
       #site-navigation {
       margin: 0px;
       }
       #masthead {padding-top: 10px}
       ```
   
 * The [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) part is inside /* */,
   which is CSS comment. If you wish to use [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)
   url, you need to bring it out of the comment. See the code below, notice [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)
   area.
 *     ```
       /*
        Theme Name:   Twenty twelve Child
        Theme URI:    http://myfreelancelifestyle.com/twenty-twelve-child/
        Description:  Twenty twelve Child Theme
        Author:       venkatesh khajjidoni

        Version:      1.0.0
        Tags:         light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
        Text Domain:  twenty-twelve-child
       */
   
       @import url("../twentytwelve/style.css");
   
       /* =Theme customization starts here
       -------------------------------------------------------------- */
   
       #site-navigation {
       margin: 0px;
       }
       #masthead {padding-top: 10px}
       ```
   
 * Also please note that using **enqueue** is generally preferred over [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)
   style nowadays.
