A batsman tries to hit the ball on leg side and ball passes way away from the leg stump, no contact with ball and it passes by the stumps, after that the batsman touches the leg stumps by heels.. Will it be wide or batsman will be considered as out??

1Your title refers to no balls, but your actual question makes no reference to no balls whatsoever. Could you clarify what you're actually asking about? – Philip Kendall♦ Sep 11 '16 at 16:19

A batsman cannot be out hit wicket on a no ball; quoting from Law 21.18:
When No ball has been called, neither batsman shall be out under any of the Laws 34 (Hit the ball twice), 37 (Obstructing the field) or 38 (Run out).
However, a batsman can be out hit wicket from a wide; Law 22.9:
When Wide ball has been called, neither batsman shall be out under any of the Laws except 35 (Hit wicket), 37 (Obstructing the field), 38 (Run out) or 39 (Stumped).
(my emphasis).

@Philip, Although your answer is correct, you missed an important word in law 21.18. "Except"
21.18 Out from a No ball
When No ball has been called, neither batsman shall be out under any of the Laws except 34 (Hit the ball twice), 37 (Obstructing the field) or 38 (Run out).
