As the number of chlorine atoms increases symmetrical nature increases

μ of CH3Cl>CH2Cl2>CHCl3>CCl4
Alternate Explanation
CCl4 is a symmetrical molecule with zero dipole movement
 CH3Cl,CH2Cl2,CHCl3  have distorted tetrahedral shape. As the number of 'Cl' atoms increases repulsions between bond pairs increases thus bond angle (θ) increases.
Dipole moment decreases.
