  Without looking at your form, it's hard to tell if it's good form or not. You may think it's good form but it may not be. Happened to me too, that's how I got my SI joint injury. I'm not a rehab expert, but I'd say as with any other injury, train around it. Stop before it gets pain. If you have to reduce your ROM, do it.

  wad u mean by train around it...i m quite surprised usually i have no problem doing squats ATG with 20kg per side, but today i felt a sharp pain at my knee cap.
  
  goes the same with mili press n especially dips. I am stopping dips now for time being..
  
  should i take a week rest ? or a week with ligher weights with more reps?

  Try with a lighter weight and see how it goes.

  By training around it I mean do movements that do not cause pain. Instead of regular squats, you can try box squats or split squats. Of course, this is while you're doing active rehab on the injured joints, and you'll need to know what exactly is wrong before you can do that.
