Applying for masters but have a previous uncompleted masters on my profile. Will that grades from that masters be factored in when the admission committee evaluates my application. What if i have very good GPA is Bachelors, but got bad grades in Masters due to some circumstances.

    Your entire record is usually considered.

The admission committee will see your entire record. It is up to them to decide how to consider and weigh the various parts of it - different people will feel differently about this, and there is no way to know what the sense of the committee as a whole will be.

If you had special circumstances that affected your grades, you should address them in your statement of purpose or cover letter.
