Resolution:- 

• Open Bin folder of your webRoot (e.g. C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Website\bin)
• If the assembly is not in Bin folder, Go to "c:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\Extensions\" folder. Then, there would be some folders and find the assembly in one of folders.
• Copy ”Sitecore.Rocks.TemplateWizard.dll” and paste it to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies”
