You XML printed

<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <env:Header/>
    <env:Body>
        <GetCitiesByCountry xmlns="http://www.webserviceX.NET/">
            <CountryName xmlns="">India</CountryName>
        </GetCitiesByCountry>
    </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

Has a default namespace for countryName but should be http://www.webserviceX.NET.
