GMail does not place the sender's IP address in the headers.

I cannot think of a legitimate reason, that information should be readily available, can you? 

No offense, I'm just curious.

Or is there any way to get slightest clue about the Origin of the
Email?

You have a clue... you stated in the beginning that the sender is
using GMail. This means you know they authenticated to the Google
servers with the username presented. What more do you need to know
about the Origin? If there was a problem (abusive or illegal
message), you report it to Google with the headers and since the user
authenticated, Google knows exactly who they are.

You can view the complete message header which contains some tracking information and the path a message took as it crossed mail servers. 

To view the header:

  1. Log in to Gmail.
  2. Open the message you'd like to view headers for.
  3. Click the down arrow next to Reply, at the top-right of the message pane.
  4. Select Show original.
The full headers will appear in a new window

Here is a sample from your message:
