While working with existing workbook , You should not create a file object , Just need to Provide the File Location to FileInputStream object and pass it's reference to workbook object, then do whatever you want to do with the existing file. To add a sheet just use create Method command

public void AddsheetintoExistingworkbook(String sheetname) throws IOException, InvalidFormatException{

    //***************************Add a sheet into Existing workbook***********************************************


 String path="C:\\Workspace\\Selenium_2.53\\src\\InputFiles\\Temp.xlsx";
 fileinp = new FileInputStream(path);
 workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(fileinp);
 workbook.createSheet(sheetname);

 fileOut = new FileOutputStream(path);
    workbook.write(fileOut);
    fileOut.close();
 System.out.println("File is written successfully");    
}
