according to me it is neptune because the scientists do not take pluto into the planet list and both the orbits overlap each other causing huge differences between the distance of pluto and neptune

pluto is not technically a planet anymore, so I guess the short answer is no. Before last year, it was the farthest known planet, but there was some investigation into a 10th planet which I do not believe was ever resolved. Interesting to note however, is that some planets' orbits intersect (or have intersected) at certain points in time and thus, the ordering of planets by distance can change over time, regardless of our definitions.

Pluto is classified as a 'dwarf planet' and as such it is about the farthest from the sun. There are however, other objects that may come under this classification that would be included and which are farther than Pluto. What's the point exactly?

Of the classified "Dwarf Planets" UB313, Eris (formerly known as "Xena" ), is the most distant with a maximum of about 97 AU in its elliptical orbit compared to the Pluto/Charon pair at about 49 AU max. in their coupled elliptical orbit
Eris is also larger than Pluto at 2100 Miles Dia compared to 1400 Mi for Pluto and 750 Mi for partner Charon.
Ceres, the largest (formerly known as Prince -oops, I mean "Asteroid" ) is now also classified and a Dwarf Planet.
So counting the Pluto pair separately, there are four classified Dwarf Planets and eight Good Old Boy Planets.

pluto is the farthest planet for the majority of it's rotation around the sun, however neptune's rotation is such that for a small portion of it's rotation it is farther than pluto and during that time is the farthest any planet is from the sun

pluto is no more a planet so among the nine planets dat their were earlier neptune is farthest now but their r speculations and investigations on a 10 planet so check google for more information or u can check wikipedia

Actually it's Sedna, the newly discovered planets. Even if pluto is called the dwarf planet or all such things, even then it's sedna. Size more or less as Neptune and is 8400 million km away from sun whereas pluto is only 5900 million.

If you mean just in our solar system, then no. Eris is the farthest.
Pluto's distance is 39.5 AU (semi-major axis of orbit), while Eris is 67.7 AU.
There are at least 11 other "candidate" dwarf planets. One of them, Sedna, at 525.6 AU is further away than Eris. But Sedna has not yet been added to the list of official dwarf planets.

If you call Pluto a planet then you have to include many- and I mean many - similar objects that are farther from the sun.
