Hi Vikas

I am not sure I understand the problem correctly, but how about this?

Here is a table produced by a R-src block
with some descriptive text in a minipage:

-----------------------snip----------------------------------------------

#+BEGIN_SRC R  :results output latex  :exports results  :session *R* :cache yes 
tab <- matrix(1:12,nrow=4)
cat("\n\\begin{table}\n")
cat("\\begin{minipage}{\\textwidth}\n")
cat("\\tiny{ Note: some descriptive text}\n")
cat("\\end{minipage}\n")
nix <- apply(tab,1,function(x)cat(paste(x,collab="&"),"\\\\\n"))
cat("\\end{table}\n")
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS[<2013-04-16 15:11:58> 964853177d477abc1cba212a72dde1f7cf3251c0]:
#+BEGIN_LaTeX

\begin{table}
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\tiny{ Note: some descriptive text}
\end{minipage}
1 & 5 & 9 & \\
2 & 6 & 10 & \\
3 & 7 & 11 & \\
4 & 8 & 12 & \\
\end{table}
#+END_LaTeX

-----------------------snap----------------------------------------------
