 Hello @vinoth06,

 Welcome to WordPress trac! Thank you for submitting this ticket.

 I looked more into the issue and I found out that I'm getting the correct
 value from `menu_page_url()` via AJAX if the current user has the
 capability to see the created admin page. If the user isn't logged-in or
 lacking capability then I also receive nothing.

 Here's the code I used for testing.

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 // Create admin menu page.
 function test_admin_menu_page() {
         add_menu_page( 'Test Menu', 'Test Menu', 'manage_options',
 'test_menu', 'test_menu_page' );
 }
 add_action( 'admin_init', 'test_admin_menu_page' );

 // AJAX handler.
 function test_ajax_menu_page_url() {
         // Outputs - http://wp.test/wp-admin/admin.php?page=test_menu if
 logged in as admin.
         // Outputs nothing if logged-out.
         echo menu_page_url( 'test_menu', false );
         wp_die();
 }
 add_action( 'wp_ajax_ampu', 'test_ajax_menu_page_url' );
 add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_ampu', 'test_ajax_menu_page_url' );
 }}}
