Given your description of your goal, there's not enough information to do the job.
You say:
which will group some object on running the script
Do you mean "some objects"? Hope so because you can't group a single item.
How does the script know which objects to work on? Are you requiring the user to select them in advance? If not, what technique should the script use to know which objects?
it will enlarge the same group upto some extend
To which extent?
The object will be generally inside the textframes
What does "inside" mean? Are you talking about anchored objects? Or is this a reference to their geometric positions on the page? If the latter, what does the text frames have to do with anything? If the former, then the job just got a whole lot harder because you can't group anchored objects.
