Abstract : CGRaBS J0211+1051 was seen in high state at $\gamma$-rays ($>0.1$ GeV) during 2011 January 25-31. A detailed study of polarization behavior of this object was carried out by Chandra et 2011 (ApJ,746,92). The fast intranight variations with high flux state at other wavelengths confirm the emission to be originated from relativistic jet. This object has mostly been in fainter state and hence very few studies are available in literature. Based on polarization behavior of this object, it was claimed to belong to Low Frequecy BL Lac Object (LBL) class, a sequence in blazars. Using a more detailed observations and multi-wavelength techniques this object was again studied for confirming it's classification (Chandra et al 2014, ApJ 791,85). The Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) clearly confirms the LBL classification of this object. The significant variability at all frequencies are seen which may introduce the shift of peak of SED and hence uncertainty in classification. This led us to perform the SED modeling of this object. In this paper, we will discuss few of the interesting results obtained from modeling for example, the nature and origin of high energy emission.
