I am not able to mount the disk. It is showing error.

Error mounting system-managed device /dev/sda3: Command-line `mount "/media/tusharmakkar08/Local"' exited with non-zero exit status 1: [mntent]: line 1 in /etc/fstab is bad
mount: can't find /media/tusharmakkar08/Local in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

Output of 

 sudo blkid

is

/dev/sda3: LABEL="Local Disk" UUID="01CD72098BB21B70" TYPE="ntfs" 
/dev/sda4: UUID="2ca94bc3-eb3e-41cf-ad06-293cf89791f2" TYPE="ext4" 
/dev/sda5: UUID="CFB1-5DDA" TYPE="vfat"

You can use \x20 for space.

That is hex value for ASCII (and utf-8 encoded) space.

Or you can use the octal variant \040.

So that would be (in fstab):

UUID=01CD72098BB21B70 /media/tusharmakkar08/Local\x20Disk1
# or
UUID=01CD72098BB21B70 /media/tusharmakkar08/Local\040Disk1

If you are not to familiar with ASCII fun install ascii and:

ascii     # decimal and hex view
ascii -o  # octal view

Non the less I'd also recommend, like @TNW, changing the mount point to one without space. Generally makes things easier. You can also change the label though that might affect other things if you have something configured to recognize it as it is.
