Customer is the person that requires service. The contact is used if an alternate person should be contacted.
Example: An executive has an issue. The executive is the customer. If the exec has an assistant or secretary, the assistant is the contact. This allows support personnel to know the incident is for an executive and allows the tech to know who to contact regarding the issue. If the customer should be contacted directly, then there's no reason to duplicate data by entering both the customer and contact fields.

Perhaps you have some customization set which enters the contact info based on some criteria? Tauf Chowdhury | Forest Laboratories, Inc.

But why sometimes contact is populated with customer while sometimes contact remains free? Which is the logic?

Contact information is not alway filled even if Customer information is populated. Do you know if there's a field for Customer (and non contact) email?
