The Answer for this question is :

public string GetContent(string pageName, string propertyName)
    {
        string content = string.Empty;
        try
        {
            log.Info("GetContent Method is called for getting property value!!!!!");
            IContentTypeRepository contentTypeRepository = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentTypeRepository>();
            IEnumerable<ContentType> allPageTypes = contentTypeRepository.List().OfType<PageType>();
            IContentModelUsage contentModelUsage = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentModelUsage>();
            IList<ContentUsage> pageInstanceCollection = new List<ContentUsage>();
            foreach (ContentType item in allPageTypes)
            {
                IList<ContentUsage> pageInstance = contentModelUsage.ListContentOfContentType(item);
                foreach (ContentUsage i in pageInstance)
                {
                    pageInstanceCollection.Add(i);
                }
            }
            IEnumerable<ContentUsage> currentpage = pageInstanceCollection.Where(x => x.Name.ToLower() == pageName.ToLower());
            int Id = currentpage.First().ContentLink.ID;
            PageReference pagereference = new PageReference(Id);
            IContentRepository contentRepository = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentRepository>();
            PageData pageData = contentRepository.Get<PageData>(pagereference);
            content = pageData.GetPropertyValue(propertyName);

        }
        catch(Exception exception)
        {
            string errorMessage = string.Format("Error in Content Retrieval : {0}", exception.Message);
            log.Error(errorMessage, exception);
        }
        return content;
    }

Here I am passing CMS page name and property name to the method to get the corresponding property value..

I think you're misunderstanding some core concepts.

You should do something like the following:

// Get object used to load Episerver content
var contentLoader = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentLoader>();

// Some content reference
var contentLink = new ContentReference(123);

// Get content of a specific type
var somePage = contentLoader.Get<SomePageType>(contentLink);

// Strongly typed access to content property
var somePropertyValue = somePage.SomeProperty;

If you really have to get a value by its property name:

var someOtherProperty = somePage.GetPropertyValue("SomeOtherPropertyName");
