Finally i found the solution. Users was getting alert twice because my one of colleagues has deployed event receiver that is used to set alert for users. So some of the users have alerts set twice for the same list. I removed unnecessary alerts and asked my colleague to modify his code.

"one of my colleagues has deployed event receiver" -- You guys will be in big trouble if you don't develop and adhere to a strict governance regime about change management and testing new functionality. If one user can deploy a solution that breaks functionality elsewhere, how can you ever expect a stable farm? – teylyn Mar 29 at 8:22
