After replacing the outer axle with new one, I am noticing the oil leakage from the bottom of the car where the engine oil drain nut is. I replaced the axle seal inside gearbox but no luck. can anyone have any idea where this oil is coming from?

PS:- i noticed when the car was parked during Eid holidays, there was no leakage where as when I drove again today, it started a drop again.

Maybe replacement wasn't done properly

That settles the matter then as your oil sump must be completely fine, I had an oil leakage when parked and that was due to damage on the sump.

Apart from that it could be anything from a tappet cover leak, incorrect fitting when axle was changed or many more different reasons. If it is leaking a lot then its best to tow and have it looked at by the same mechanic. That will be best since if it started leaking after him working on it then chances are he messed up.
