I was searching if it is possible to hide one of my Mac volumes through disk utility. But didn't find any solution. Do I need to see towards some third party tool. Please suggest me one

Hide from where? The desktop? Sidebar?

Finder > Preferences. ("General" + "Sidebar")

Or you can make it invisible from the Terminal:

sudo chflags hidden /Volumes/[volumename]

If it's your Bootcamp partition, boot into Windows and rename your hard drive to .Windows -- by default, anything starting with a period is invisible in OS X.

id say that suggesting terminal use to a user who can't figure out on their own how to hide/unhide the hard drive from the finder is a recipe for absolute disaster

As rare as it might be we are in complete agreement.

It's Un-Canadian to oppose a warming trend.

I am not very familiar with terminal commands so did the job with a partition manager tool for my Mac. It has the option to hide a volume along with other volume management options.

Thanks for all your replies.
