The MenuItem clicked is passed in the RoutedEventArgs e OriginalSource variable. Then in the variable the class is stored in the Header variable.

    private void mi_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        /*here  value of clicked **Malfunction** object required. if I click  
        Malfunction6. Then I should get MalfunctionName ="Malfunction6"* and     Id =6*/

        System.Windows.Controls.MenuItem mi = e.OriginalSource as System.Windows.Controls.MenuItem;
        Malfunction m = mi.Header as Malfunction;

        System.Console.WriteLine(m.MalfunctionName);
        System.Console.WriteLine(m.Id);
    }
