Embodiments herein disclose a method for handling RLF in a MRDC system comprising a UE connected to a Master Node and at least one Secondary Node (SN). The method includes detecting, by the UE, a radio link failure (RLF) with the master node. Further, the method includes determining, by the UE, whether a Secondary Node termination condition is met. Further, the method includes performing one of: maintaining, by the UE, a connection with the at least one secondary node till the SN termination condition is met in response to determining that the SN termination condition is not met, and releasing, by the UE, the connection with the at least one secondary node in response to determining that the SN termination condition is met.
