I had this set up on my site for a while. I finally settled on the shortcuts.module and created different 'versions' of the same module (shortcuts1, shortcuts2 etc.) by going into the module and adding a number to all the shortcut function names. I then set up the blocks separately to appear on specific pages. Worked fine. I then themed the dynamic menu to suit the css. I pointed all the shortcut modules to pull the same style sheet and .js file. I then limited what appeared in each menu by restricting the content types in the admin/settings/shortcut1,2etc. As each of my menus served a separate vocabulary which in turn was assigned it's own content type, this was straightforward enough. Hope this helps. I'm sure there are probably a half dozen ways to do this, but obviously if you want the menu to be dynamic, that restricts some of your options. Other modules I played with include Nice_menus. This pulls it's data not from the vocabularies though, like Shortcuts, but from the menu. The problem I found with this is that it doesn't integrate with taxonomy_context.

Thanks but is it possible to design that menu without using shortcut module

Well, I mentioned the Nice Menus. I guess it depends on what you mean by dynamic?

There is a Drupal theme generator that has dynamic menus built in, but I'm not sure how you will set it up so that only some menu items appear to certain users without putting them in separate blocks, or if the menu item relates to features that have permissions can be controlled in admin>access controls. Here's the link for the theme generator page

If you want to show/not show a menu or block on a specific page or perhaps on a certain node type the easiest way is perhaps to go to administer > blocks and choose configure for the block you want to hide/show.

Set the Page specific visibility settings, ie choose what pages you want to hide or show this block on.

You can read more in the handbooks > http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/block
