            [self.lblnNewsTitle setNumberOfLines:0];
            self.lblnNewsTitle.frame = CGRectMake(self.lblnNewsTitle.frame.origin.x, self.lblnNewsTitle.frame.origin.y, self.lblnNewsTitle.frame.size.width, self.lblnNewsTitle.frame.size.height );

self.viwMidImage.frame=CGRectMake(self.viwMidImage.frame.origin.x, self.strImage.frame.origin.y, self.viwMidImage.frame.size.width, self.viwMidImage.frame.size.height);

From the Documentation:

- sizeToFit

Resizes and moves the receiver’s content view so it just encloses its subviews.

You should invoke this method after:

Adding a subview (to the content view)
Altering the size or location of such a subview
Setting the margins around the content view

So, if you do sizeTofit under any alignment, the text will aligned to the left only. To fix this:

You can save the original label's width in a variable and set it after sizeToFit, or give it a fixed width to counter these problems:

If you still wish to use sizeToFit,Do something like this:

myLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentRight;

    [myLabel setNumberOfLines:0];
    [myLabel sizeToFit];

    CGRect myFrame = myLabel.frame;
    // Resize the frame's width to your requirement)
    // width could also be myOriginalLabelFrame.size.width
    myFrame = CGRectMake(myFrame.origin.x, myFrame.origin.y, myWidth, myFrame.size.height);
    myLabel.frame = myFrame;
