SQL
User does not have permission to alter database 'C:\Temp\DB_Jaggry.bak', or the database does not exist.
ALTER DATABASE statement failed.

            SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=SNEHA-PC\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=DB_Jaggry;Integrated Security=True");
            
                con.Open();
                string DatabaseFullPath = @"C:\Temp\DB_Jaggry.bak";
                string UseMaster = "USE master";
                SqlCommand UseMasterCommand = new SqlCommand(UseMaster, con);
                UseMasterCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();

                string Alter1 = @"ALTER DATABASE [" + DatabaseFullPath + "] SET Single_User WITH Rollback Immediate";
                SqlCommand Alter1Cmd = new SqlCommand(Alter1, con);
                Alter1Cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

                string Restore = @"RESTORE DATABASE [" + DatabaseFullPath + "] FROM DISK = N'" + backUpPath + @"' WITH  FILE = 1,  NOUNLOAD,  STATS = 10";
                SqlCommand RestoreCmd = new SqlCommand(Restore, con);
                RestoreCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

                string Alter2 = @"ALTER DATABASE [" + DatabaseFullPath + "] SET Multi_User";
                SqlCommand Alter2Cmd = new SqlCommand(Alter2, con);
                Alter2Cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
                MessageBox.Show("Restore data succesfully");

Use the following line:
C#
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=SNEHA-PC\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=master;Integrated Security=True");

You cannot connect to a database which does not exist, connect to the master database first then restore the DB.

It's in the connection string if you look.

it is-Data Source=SNEHA-PC\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=DB_Jaggry;Integrated Security=True
