Hi Sohail,

There is no built-in functionality in CCM to retrieve Serial #'s in bulk unfortunately. Here are three fairly recent threads that speak to this issue, and detail some 3rd party products that can get this info. I have known people that include the Serial # in the phone description (via handheld scanner) so they can get at this info easily later on.

Almost any scripting language can easily parse out this information from the phone's webserver...

I've made one out of Perl to pull together the IP, MAC, SN, and DN of every phone in my organization to a file for later perusal... It isn't too hard, just look at LWP::Simple class for some guidelines.
