I am in a process of camera-ready for the research paper and now paper is in process for camera-ready in publication. I have listed few more reference in reference section of paper which is not reference the text.
for example:

This result1 is cited from [1].

This result2 is cited from [4].

In reference section

[1] cited from here

[2] cited from here

[3] cited from here

[4] cited from here

But I have not referenced [2] and [3] anywhere in the paper.

Is this paper is valid for publication? Or does it not affect the paper?

You have three options. I would consider any of them valid, but an editor might disagree.

1. Remove the extra references and renumber if necessary.




2. Put a note somewhere, say with the bibliography, that some references here are just background.




3. Ignore the problem, assuming that readers will assume 2.

I think these are in order of decreasing preference, but I wouldn't object to any of them.

This depends on the journal's style sheet, but usually you only list the references that are cited in the text. Thus, I would delete the superfluous ones (and renumber the notes).

  Indeed. Having random unused references in your manuscript is sloppy at best, and is an easy way to indicate to the reviewers that you haven’t proofread it.
