You need to decode the url using decodeURIComponent()

//var url =window.location.href;

var url ="https://dev.example.com/front-end-pm/?fepaction=newmessage&=Shammy%20Kothari";

var str = decodeURIComponent(url.split('=').pop());
console.log(str);

First thing you probably want to change is that the value in your url is not assigned to a name. This would look like this: https://dev.example.com/front-end-pm/?fepaction=newmessage&YOUR_PARAMETER_NAME=Shammy%20Kothari After that you could use URLSearchParams as proposed here. This could look like the following: 

const urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
//If you don't want to retrieve the url from the url bar just use: const urlParams = new URLSearchParams('https://dev.example.com/front-end-pm/?fepaction=newmessage&YOUR_PARAMETER_NAME=Shammy%20Kothari');
const myParam = urlParams.get('YOUR_PARAMETER_NAME'); //would be 'Shammy Kothari'
