Hi Nandhu, 

Null pointer exceptions are usually thrown by a line of code that is trying to use an object that has not been instantiated, or an object's attribute that has not been initialized.

I see you have a list in the code. Please check for the presence of values before performing the query. You can use the isEmpty() attribute for both list and map
