welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com], rohit tripathi60!

you are serving content to non-canonical urls.
any request for a non-canonical url should be 301 redirected to the canonical url.

i would suggest that you only use lower case in the path and filename part of the url or you will exacerbate the problem.
you should verify that requests for incorrect case in the url are given either a 301 or 404 response.
for example http://www.example.com/Search/SearchCustomer.aspx and http://www.example.com/search/searchcustomer.aspx are two different urls and will both be indexed if you serve content for both urls.
