  1. Thanks to starkeen after a little modification I figured out the problem. Here is the code which resolved the query-

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/articles/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !s [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /articles/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} s [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule ^ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

  2. Try :

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/articles/?s=.+ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
##redirect /articles/?s=.+ from https to http##
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /articles/?s=.+ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule ^ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
