Hi Navneet,

What error you are getting while running above command?

Try following Query:  
curl -XPOST "localhost:9200/indexName/indexType/\_search?pretty=true" -d '  
{  
"query" : {  
"boosting" : {  
"positive" : {  
"term" : {  
"name" : "kamal"  
}  
},  
"negative" : {  
"term" : {  
"email" : "abc"  
}  
},  
"negative\_boost" : 0.5  
}  
}  
}
