I want to create a leave form list, where there are some fields like Name, Email id which need to be populated from user information list.

User Information list used for creating user in SharePoint. When we have all information in User information list then I need some fields value of it to be displayed to the corresponding fields in the Leave list.

I mean to say the user who is filling a new form whose information's should be pulled up from user Information list and filled into it into the leave form.

I don't know how I will achieve this. Please help.

To get the current user details like name and Email address then you will require to query the Active directory.

To fetch the data from the Active directory follow this code .
