Hi Sandeep,
The code looks fine - it looks like there is a problem with the email server settings. You need to at least try to get the error the mail function is calling.

In PHP5 the default is not to display errors on screen, for security reasons. You will probably find the message in the apache error log, which is where it is put by default. While you are developing the site, you can also set errors to be displayed on screen by opening php.ini and searching for display_errors - set this to On.

If you can get the error message being generated, we may be able to help with the mailing problem.
