Here's a possible solution using the titlesec package:

\documentclass{book} 
\usepackage{titlesec}

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\bfseries\huge}
  {\filleft\Large\chaptertitlename~\thechapter}
  {3ex}
  {\titlerule\vspace{1.5ex}\filright}
  [\vspace{1ex}\titlerule]

\begin{document}

\chapter*{Test Unnumbered Chapter}
\chapter{Test Numbered Chapter}

\end{document}

An image of the unnumbered chapter:

and an image of the numbered chapter:

    How can I solve this without using the titlesec-package (because of using scrbook-class)? – Dave Jul 11 '15 at 10:21

    Well fine, how to manage the same for the list of contents and list of tables? Moreover, how to apply the above mentioned stuffs while writing a thesis using report class and including chapters. – M S Sep 08 '17 at 10:49
