Hi @Anand Shukla ,

There are limitations of using and accessing the user object. You can go with the following script if you want email of current loggedin user at client side :  

Client Script : OnLoad   

function onLoad() {
 //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
 var a = g_user.userID;
 var ga = new GlideAjax('checkCIandCC');
 ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getData');
 ga.addParam('sysparm_user', a);
 ga.getXML(getData);

function getData(response) {
 var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
 alert(answer);
 }

}   

Script Include: Client Callable true  

var checkCIandCC = Class.create();
checkCIandCC.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

getData: function() {
 var sysID = this.getParameter('sysparm_user');
 var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_user");
 gr.addQuery("sys_id", sysID);
 gr.query();
 if (gr.next()) {
 return gr.email;
 }

 

},

type: 'checkCIandCC'
});  

Please mark my answer as helpful/correct if it resolves your query.

Why not use

var email = gs.getUser().getEmail();
