Using clonezilla-live-1.2.2-14, by mistake I selected source disk as target, scratch disk as source and performed cloning. That resulted in losing all from the original disk. Is there any way that I can bring my original disk back in working condition.

Since source disk was scratch so nothing was written on original disk and only MBR was detroyed. Fixed by booting with setup to repair and applying bootrec.exe /fixmbr. The original disk came back to running condition

Oops... I am very sorry to hear that. But you are right and lucky, since as you mentioned the source actually contains no data at all. Just rebuild the MBR and it's back.
Anyway, that's why we want you to confirm the clone job twice, and recommended to backup important data before you do any clone job.
