Hi Muthu,
If you are using Wizard for the Encapsulate Field refactoring you can uncheck the "Update references in immediately enclosing type" option on Step 5 (Local references)
There is even more flexibility - if you leave the above mentioned option checked, on Step 6 (Preview reference changes) you can pick and choose which one of the references you want changed.
Thank you,
Serge Baranovsky
