We made a Sales to a vendor and later on vendor returned the goods and in the books we booked Sales return and raised a Credit note to Vendor. Now vendor asking us not to show this sales return in GSTR1 instead treat this transaction as Purchase. Is it correct? They return material to us and show this as Sale to us in their GSTR1. This practice followed by them is right?

This is the industry practice which is currently being followed. In case your customer is not issuing any credit note for the sales return and instead, they are raising an invoice and reflecting in their GSTR 1, then in your books you can take the credit of the GST charged and reduce your sales for the gross amount. So, the entry would be sales account debit, GST input account debit and customer account credit.
