For active directory configuration I need to give our IT admin password

ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.principal=
ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.credentials=

He feels that its a big security concern as other developers working on alfresco has the access to the global property file.

Is there any possibility to encrypt the global property file ?

Alfresco version 4.2e

Unfortunately there is no such functionality in the Community Editon. Alfresco introduced property encryption in a later enterprise version but in the CE there is no such thing even in the latest version.

Maybe you also read the Alfresco forums thread alfresco-global.properties file encrypting?

Instead of trying to encrypt the alfresco-global.properties, you should be adding a new user to your AD for alfresco instance(s) let's say alfresco:$3creT and grant read permission on your AD users and groups for that user !
