I have created an IPAD application which supports on Portrait orientation. Before uploading on App Store I wanted to sure about my app getting accepted or rejected. Will my application be rejected if it supports only portrait orientation?

According to Apple, the most common reason for rejection, accounting for 14%, was “more information needed”. This occurs when an app is submitted to the App Store for review and the developer does not provide enough information or materials for the app to be tested by the App Store review team.
Ensure that you have enabled Auto-rotate for your tablet. To do this, swipe down on the tablet to display the status bar and touch Auto Rotate.
it's most likely that the app(s) you see that stay in portrait mode are not configured/programmed to work with landscape.
You are not required to support both landscape and portrait orientations for an iPad app, although Apple recommends it.
According to Apple's Technical Q&A QA1689 on Supporting orientations for iPad apps:
Q: Which orientations should my iPad application support?
It is strongly recommended that your application support all orientations. This includes portrait, portrait upside-down, landscape left and landscape right.
If it is essential that your application run in only one orientation (for instance, portrait only), then you should:
- Launch in your supported orientation, regardless of the current device orientation.
- Avoid displaying any UI element that tells people to rotate the device.
- Support both variants of an orientation.
Essentially, if you only support one orientation, make sure that your app specifies that it supports the upside-down version of that orientation as well.

I've had multiple apps accepted which only support one orientation.
