A few words regarding the solution:

1. Keep your imports minimal.
2. Refrain from using unwanted imports import com.thoughtworks.selenium.webdriven.commands.Click;
3. Review your code & remove unwanted code driver.findElement(By.id("overridelink")).click();
4. Avoid using Thread.sleep(6000);
5. Once you induce implicitlyWait its valid throughout your execution.
6. Use css if your xpath looks vulnerable By.xpath("//Image[@title = 'SEARCH HTTPS']")

7. Here is your own working code with a few simple tweaks which print text IM sent on the console at the end:

   System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "C:\\your_directory\\IEDriverServer.exe");
   WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
   driver.manage().window().maximize();
   driver.get("https://194.74.171.122/e-ServiceDesk/frmLogin.aspx?ReturnUrl=/e-ServiceDesk/default.aspx");
   driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
   String window_title1 = driver.getTitle();
   if (driver.getTitle().equalsIgnoreCase(window_title1))
   {
       driver.findElement(By.id("txtUserName")).clear();
       driver.findElement(By.id("txtUserName")).sendKeys("RSen");
       driver.findElement(By.id("btnLogin")).click();
       Thread.sleep(6000);
   }
   String window_title2 = driver.getTitle();
   if (driver.getTitle().equalsIgnoreCase(window_title2))
   {
       Boolean a = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//Image[@title = 'SEARCH HTTPS']")).isDisplayed() ;
       System.out.println(a);
       String MainWindow = driver.getWindowHandle();
       driver.findElement(By.xpath("//Image[@title = 'SEARCH HTTPS']")).click();
       driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
       Set<String> s1=driver.getWindowHandles();
       Iterator<String> i1=s1.iterator();
       while(i1.hasNext())         
           {       
               String ChildWindow=i1.next();
               if(!MainWindow.equalsIgnoreCase(ChildWindow))           
               {           
                       driver.switchTo().window(ChildWindow);        
                       driver.manage().window().maximize();
                       Thread.sleep(10000);
                       String c = driver.getTitle();
                       System.out.println(c);  
                       Thread.sleep(5000);
                       driver.switchTo().frame("eFormContents");
                       Thread.sleep(3000);
                       driver.findElement(By.id("existCallRef")).click();
                       driver.findElement(By.id("existCallRef")).sendKeys("IM");
                       System.out.println("text IM sent");
               }
           }   
   }
