This should work

$("#txtSearch").autocomplete({
     source: function (request, response) {                  
               $.ajax({
                    url: "/Home/Getsrchresult",
                    type: "POST",
                    dataType: "json",      
                    data: { term: request.term,location:$('#location').val() },
                    success: function (data) {
                        response($.map(data, function (item) {                   
                            return { label: item.place, value: item.place };
                        }))
                    }
                })
            }  
});

Assuming you are returning JSON like this

[
    {
        "srchresult": "foodtakeaway",
        "place": "karnataka"
    },
    {
        "srchresult": "ssdf",
        "place": "dfsaf"
    }
]

I have used item.place for label and value property, you may replace it with item.srchresult as needed.

Suggestion : Use MVC Helper methods( Url.Action ) to generate the url to your action methods, instead of hardcoding
