If the bar is being pulled by some load even then its free to expand in the direction of load, no stresses should be produced in this case also right?

Bar is subjected to free expansion so there is no stress.

Length of bar increases when we increase the temperature of it due to temperature stress. So this type of stress is always when we heated a metal bar.

Will come into play since expansion is not restricted that's why no stress is occurring.

Stress is nothing but the resisting force since due to temperature rise body will expand and if this expansion due to temperature change is restricted then only resisting stress (thermal stress) will come into play since expansion is not restricted that's why no stress is occurring.

Stress depends upon load. There is no load so it cannot have any stress.

Thermal stresses tends to increase the length of body due to thermal expansion.

Stress is not related to the increase in temperature.
