Try setting the fill to Darken or try Overprint

can you take a look at the separations - are both of your examples separating that color correctly?

Thanks for your reply

YES. only problem with Spot black is when i am using Gaussian Blur is showing grey on edges but in feather it looks good as it should be and i check  on old verion of illustrator CS5.1 its not showing any grey in blur in spot black. problem is only in CC versions

With a spot color, the separations are relevant and of course a proof. 

So probably you just need to do that. It's about both on-screen representaions being handled differently.
