  In this article we study a particular class of compact connected orientable
PL $4$-manifolds with empty or connected boundary and prove the existence of
each handle in its handle decomposition. We particularly work on the compact
connected orientable PL $4$-manifolds with rank of fundamental group to be one.
Our main result is that if $M$ is a closed connected orientable $4$-manifold
then $M$ has either of the following handle decompositions:
  (i) one $0$-handle, two $1$-handles, $1+\beta_2(M)$ $2$-handles, one
$3$-handle and one $4$-handle,
  (ii) one $0$-handle, one $1$-handle, $\beta_2(M)$ $2$-handles, one $3$-handle
and one $4$-handle, where $\beta_2(M)$ denotes the second Betti number of
manifold $M$ with $\mathbb{Z}$ coefficients. Further, we extend this result to
any compact connected orientable $4$-manifold $M$ with boundary and give three
possible representations of $M$ in terms of handles.
