We have a Jenkins CI job, where we will run a job when a pull request is raised. If that job fails in any case, we should not allow the user to merge the pull request. Is there any way we can do using github actions?

You could:
- enable to branch protection policy "Require status checks to pass before merging"
- Follow the "Creating CI tests with the Checks API" guide, which does not require a GitHub Action, and can create "Check runs and requested actions".
Using checks (as I mentioned here) would be a good way to prevent any merge while the PR has any check with an associated "failed" status.
The OP Ramanichandran confirms in the comments it is working:
For each failure stage in jenkins, we call this github api
sh('curl "https://api.github.com/repos/reponame/statuses/$GIT_COMMIT?access_token=xxx" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-X POST \
-d "{\\\"state\\\": \\\"failure\\\", \\\"target_url\\\": \\\"https://jenkinsurl/job/foldername/job/jobname/$BUILD_NUMBER/console\\\", \\\"description\\\": \\\"Jenkins-CI-pre-merge-job-sonarscan-failure\\\", \\\"context\\\": \\\"Jenkins-CI-pre-merge-job-sonarscan-failure\\\"}"') } –
