The vacuum stability condition of the Standard Model Higgs potential with mass in the range of 124-127 GeV puts an upper bound on the Dirac mass of the neutrinos. We study this constraint with the right-handed neutrino masses upto TeV scale. The heavy neutrinos contribute to $\Delta L=2$ processes like neutrinoless double beta decay and same-sign-dilepton production in the colliders. The vacuum stability criterion also restricts the light-heavy neutrino mixing and constrains the branching ratio of lepton flavour violating process, like $\mu \to e \gamma$ mediated by the heavy neutrinos. We show that neutrinoless double beta decay with a lifetime $\sim 10^{25}$ years can be observed if the the lightest heavy neutrino mass is $<$ 4.5 TeV. We show that the vacuum stability condition and the experimental bound on $\mu \rightarrow e \gamma$ together put a constrain on heavy neutrino mass $M_R >$ 3.3 TeV. Finally we show that the observation of same-sign-dileptons (SSD) associated with jets at the LHC needs much larger luminosity than available at present. We have estimated the possible maximum cross-section for this process at the LHC and show that with an integrated luminosity 100 $fb^{-1}$ it may be possible to observe the SSD signals as long as $M_R <$ 400 GeV.
