Hey Kalpana,

You can get ParaView to display scalar or vector quantities associated with 
points while they are selected. If you select some points, then under the View 
menu open the Selection Inspector, at the bottom of this panel there is a 
section called Display Style. Click on the Point Label tab and check Visible. 
You will see a combo-box called Label Mode, and in this list are all of the 
scalars and vectors associated with your point data. 

The point coordinates are not listed, but you can can create a new vector that 
contains a copy of the coordinates with the Calculator filter. In the 
Calculator Properties panel there is a combo box/button labeled Vectors, and 
one of the entries should be coords (or you can just type coords in the 
equation line edit. You can rename the result to something more meaningful like 
Coordinates. Now when you select points from this new data, the new Coordinates 
vector should show up under the Label Mode of the Point Label section of the 
Selection Inspector.

Let us know if you have any problems,
-Eric

If you just want to see a list of point coordinates, you could create a 
spreadsheet view and view your grid in that.
