You can try:

string $sn = `file -q -sn -shn`;
substring($sn, 0, size($sn) - 3);

I queried scene name..and I am trying to save the file or copy this in to some where else..(ex server)

string $makdir = `sysFile -md "C:/Krishna/Work/PipeLine/SampleProject/Assets/Props/Mod/NewFolder"`;
string $serPath = "C:/Krishna/Work/PipeLine/SampleProject/Assets/Props/Mod/Krish_Mo_v001";
string $dirname = dirname ( $scnName );

I think the docs for sysFile explain it quite good:

// Move a scene to the new directory (we can rename it at the same time).
  sysFile -rename "C:/temp/mayaStuff/myScene.mb.trash"
      "C:/maya/projects/default/scenes/myScene.mb"; // Windows

  // Rename the scene to "myScene.will.be.deleted"
  sysFile -rename "C:/temp/mayaStuff/myScene.will.be.deleted"
      "C:/temp/mayaStuff/myScene.mb.trash";           // Windows

  // Copy a scene to the new directory
string $destWindows = "C:/temp/mayaStuff/myScene.mb.trash";
string $srcWindows = "C:/maya/projects/default/scenes/myScene.mb";
  sysFile -copy $destWindows $srcWindows;         // Windows

btw.: for more complex stuff like manipulating files, do string modifications etc. I heavily recommend python instead of mel, it is much easier to manipulate all these data in python and pymel.
