So Just now my Dell XPS L502x is showing this message that says that my power adaptor is not recognised. The laptop is showing plugged in and not charging.

Happens at the time of voltage fluctuation. Laptop can't recognize adapter providing different amount of current-flow.
My suggestion: Use Surge protector.
