Thanks for the reply ThomD,
that reference helped me to get Dynamic column names, but as i said my data is not in the format of Columns (i.e, data is in Objects format and columns are in Array format).

I have also tried the below reference

Combining both references code it worked me fine :)

 $.ajax({
        "url": '/ajaxcallurl/',
        "success": function (result) {
            var tableHeaders;
            $.each(result.columns, function (i, val) {
                tableHeaders += "<th>" + val + "</th>";
            });

             $("#tableDiv").empty();
             $("#tableDiv").append('<table id="displayTable" class="display"     cellspacing="0" width="100%"><thead><tr>' + tableHeaders + '</tr></thead></table>');

             var columns = [];
            jQuery.each(result.columns, function (i, value) {
                var obj = { data: value };
                columns.push(obj);
            });

            var table = $('#displayTable').DataTable({
                data: result.data,
                columns: columns

            });

        },
        "dataType": "json"
    });

Thanks again for helping me out :)
