Which of the following sentence gives correct meaning?
Is there any difference in their meaning ?

Example-
I will be partying in tomorrow evening. I can't come to meet you.
OR
I must be partying in tomorrow evening. I can't come to meet you.
 
You don't "party in." I think you mean you will be partying.

Unless someone is compelling you to party, there is no "must" involved.
 
Neither sentence makes sense.
 
I'm going to a party tomorrow evening so I can't come to/and meet you.
I'm supposed to be going to a party tomorrow evening so I can't come to/and meet you.
I'm meant to be going to a party tomorrow evening so I can't come to/and meet you.

When you write "partying in", do you mean having a party in your place of residence?
 
I'm actually guessing the preposition was mistakenly attached to "in tomorrow evening" and not to "partying."

But it's just a guess.

Actually I asked this question to know the use of "must be+ing". If you can give me some example it will be great. Thanks a lot.

You didn't use "must be +ing" in any of your examples.

I have taken this sentence randomly from internet. I believe it means 'Party at home'. The preposition is not for 'tomorrow'.

I have used "must be +ing" in my example i.e "must be partying".

It does not mean "to party at home". We don't say "to party in" at all unless "in" comes before the location and "in" is the preceding preposition.

Yes you are right . I mean the same. By the way I have taken this sentence randomly from internet.

Yes, so you said. Choosing random sentences from the internet is not really a good idea. There are billions of incorrect sentences on the net. Perhaps you should write your own sentences and ask us for our opinion.
 
Please give me some example of sentence with "must be verb+ing" so that I can understand what is it's actual use.
 
'You are making good progress in English. You must be trying very hard.'

'He's just bought a new car. He must be earning a good salary.'
 
We're two hours late getting home. The cats must be starving.
There's Tom by the mailbox. He must be expecting something exciting.

It's not a must of obligation. It means "Based on the evidence at hand/what I know, I believe with a high level of certainty that this statement is true."
 
You must be joking.
