Hi,  
Recently we have noticed asterisk is not able to block caller id for blocked calls, as per my telco they are sending calls flagged as ‘private’. I have made few test myself from my cell phone and found same.

I am not sure how can i trouble shoot this, please guide me. Asterisk Version 1.4.44.

As noted, you are using a version that hasn’t been supported for years. Moreover, as a non-network operator, you should not receive caller IDs from a network operator, as they should not trust you to ignore it. As such, if you have a competent network operator, there should be no problem.
