I have designed Main window & subwindow in PYQT5 designer When I run the code the controls move upwards in the subwindow But when the subwindow is maximized the controls look correctly spaced from top of window Also when I resize the subwindow manually the window is not painted correctly but the same is ok when I use Maximize & restore buttons
I want to place objects in subwindow at absolute postion relative the top of sub window

Your issue happens because you are setting an absolute position based on the window geometry, which can also include the title bar; in your case the vertical position will always be window.y() + titlebar.height() + y, so if the window is maximized the titlebar will have no height, thus showing the "correct" position you wanted.
The correct implementation of a QMdiSubWindow is to use setWidget() to add its contents. It's almost like using setCentralWidget() for a QMainWindow.
class SubForm(QMdiSubWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
# create the widget and set its ui
self.subform = QWidget()
subform_ui = Ui_DataForm()
subform_ui.setupUi(self.subform)
# set the widget for the window
self.setWidget(self.subform)
# you should *not* do this!!!
self.tb = Ui_FormToolBar("data_print","n")
self.tb.setupUi(self)
About the last lines, you should never call setupUi more than once on the same widget, and not even against an object that has a class different from what it expects: in your case, Ui_FormToolBar should be a QWidget, but you're using with a QMdiSubWindow instead; while it seems to work, you might face some serious problems in the future. What you should do is to create a separate QWidget and use the form setupUi with it.
Finally, I strongly suggest you to not edit the python files generated by pyuic to create your programs; read the official documentation on how to correctly use the files created with Designer instead.
