I am new in deep speech I have one problem I trained one deep speech model on my own data. It is working fine with wave file of sample rate of 16000 Hz, when I gave audio file with sample rate of 44100 Hz its accuracy decreases. But I have requirement that my model should work fine with any sample rate. Kindly help me out to achieve that requirement.
When you feed 44.1KHz audio files into a model that was trained on 16KHz audio then model “hears” a speaker that talks 2.75x faster and with a high pitched voice (mickey mouse voice).
You should adapt your STT processing chain and add a sample rate conversion (SRC) step before feeding the model.
There are a number of way to do SRC - look out for sox, librosa, resampy, …
I tried the downsampling of audio file using sox,ffmpeg and audacity. But I did not get the desired result after giving downsampled wave to my model. Model gave completely wrong output.

Downsampling can add artifacts.
“when I gave” is not super accurate to help you: though some deepspeech command-line interface ? through the API ?
Can I train my model with sample rate of 44100 Hz?
As I have to transcribe wave file that have the sample rate of 44100 Hz. When I try to downsample it gives completely wrong transcription.

Technically you can, but besides higher resources required for training and inference there is not much benefit. Sample rate of 44100 Hz gives you a max frequency range up to 22050Hz (see Shannon-Nyquist-Theorem). Human speaking voice frequencies are below 11000Hz, the most important range is up to 4000Hz. That is why the default sampling rate of 22000Hz is a feasible choice.
I am training my deep-speech model with training data having sample rate 44100 Hz, but getting very less accuracy. This model I test with wave file having 44100Hz sample rate
But when I train my model with training data having sample rate of 16K Hz then I am getting good accuracy, tested this model with wave file having 16K Hz sample rate
How can I train my model with sample rate of 44100 and good accuracy.
