Dear Ankit,
BaseX is not a schema aware XQuery processor, hence your results.
In BaseX fn:nilled() will always return false.
Element nodes in BaseX will always be untyped, see for instance:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-datamodel-30/#ElementNode => Property 11 and
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions-30/#func-nilled => in the notes.
So with respect to the specification fn:nilled() is working correctly,
however it fails to live up to the expectations :-)
You can, nevertheless, mimic the fn:nilled() behavior, using this custom
function I hacked together for you:

Depending on what you need, this might work just well.
Hope this helps.
Best from Constance,
Michael
P.S.The example code in my function has been shamelessly adapted from:
http://www.xqueryfunctions.com/xq/fn_nilled.html :-)
