@manojkrishna561994,  
This doesn't look to me like the api I am seeing in docs.

I've tried:

```auto
$ curl -X POST "localhost:5601/api/saved_objects/_import" -H "kbn-xsrf: true" --form file=@file.ndjson

```

where `file.ndjson` is export using Kibana's UI export functionality and it worked for me.

Please see for more details:

> **[Import objects API | Kibana Guide \[7.7\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.7/saved-objects-api-import.html)**

Please note, this api is marked as experimental

> This functionality is experimental and may be changed or removed completely in a future release. Elastic will take a best effort approach to fix any issues, but experimental features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.
