Below are the inputs. I need to generate sequential ID for all the sect element including any nesting element sec/sec/sec for sec2 sec 3 sec4

   <xsl:template match="sect">

Use
         <xsl:variable name="pos"><xsl:number level="any"/></xsl:variable>

And instead of the xsl:choose and ancestor check you could simply write different templates e.g.
   <xsl:template match="body/sect">
      <xsl:variable name="pos"><xsl:number level="any"/></xsl:variable>
      <sect1 id="sect{$pos}">
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </sec1>
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="body/sect/sect">
      <xsl:variable name="pos"><xsl:number level="any"/></xsl:variable>
      <sect2 id="sect{$pos}">
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </sec2>
   </xsl:template>
and so on for the other levels.
