Why is current source open circuited while voltage source open circuited ?

Because a voltage source (ideal) is a voltage in series with zero ohms. Set the voltage to zero, and you are left with zero ohms, a short circuit. A current source is a current in parallel with infinite ohms, so if you set the current to zero, you are left with infinite ohms, an open circuit. .
