You do know that when you remove the SC_MOVE menu option from the system
menu of a dialog, it can no longer be moved by mouse or the keyboard!

Got the answer.

Just commenting the default loading of System Menu inside
OnInitDialog() did the trick.

/* if (pSysMenu != NULL)
      {
              CString strAboutMenu;
              strAboutMenu.LoadString(IDS_ABOUTBOX);
              if (!strAboutMenu.IsEmpty())
              {
                      pSysMenu->AppendMenu(MF_SEPARATOR);
                      pSysMenu->AppendMenu(MF_STRING, IDM_ABOUTBOX,
strAboutMenu);
              }
      }*/

To disable Close button:

      CMenu *pSysMenu = GetSystemMenu(FALSE);
      ASSERT(pSysMenu != NULL);
      VERIFY(pSysMenu->RemoveMenu(SC_CLOSE, MF_BYCOMMAND));

Similarly to disable Move Option:

      CMenu *pSysMenu = GetSystemMenu(FALSE);
      ASSERT(pSysMenu != NULL);
      VERIFY(pSysMenu->RemoveMenu(SC_MOVE, MF_BYCOMMAND));
