Hi Prafulla,
'git am' should strip the "From: ..." contents from Mahavir's email.  I
believe by default authorship is given to the email sender, but it can
be overridden by including "From: ..." in the email contents.  So you're
correct that the "From: ..." in Mahavir's email is redundant, but it
also isn't doing any harm so he shouldn't need to resend the patch.
Also, the signed-off-by is not the same as authorship, so he does either
need to send the patch himself, or include the "From: Mahavir..." in the
patch contents.

Best,
Peter
