1) I am sending an email from my email using email to case functionality.
2) If cpontact exists then it automaticaly attached that contact with the newly created case.
3) I am facing the problem when contact is not existing then I need to create contact with the actual name that is used into email for example my email id is testing@gmail.com and Name in gmail is Amit Singh then I need to insert contact as Amit Singh and email as testing@gmail.com

Hey Amith,

You need to fetch the name from the EmailMessage object.

Here is the SOQL query sample for you.
 
SELECT ID, FromName, FromAddress, ValidatedFromAddress FROM EmailMessage
FromName is your field to fetch.

I suggest a Trigger or a Process on the EmailMessage object.

I believe ValidatedFromAddress would be blank in EmailMessage, if Contact is not present (But, I would let you validate this).

Let me know how it goes.
