With respect, trying to interpret your question.

If you are asking "should the shower be earthed?" or "should the earth wire be connected in the switch?"
then the answer is absolutely YES!!!

Earth not connected with switch box but direct connected with shower is this correct

 

[Taylortwocities]

The earth conductor must be connected to the earth in the switch box. To connect with the earth from the supply side.

Get an electrician in before you kill somebody.

If it is a plastic back box then earths only need to go to front plate (switch). But get an electrician in because loss of earth or bad connections you could be looking at a shock or fire situation.

We know what it is. The shower must be earthed. If you do not understand then

The shower is earthed but switch is not earthed when I buy 45a pull switch then replace like same last one so I confused I need to earth with shower and switch box. In a switch box have earth terminal but last weir dose not weir to the switch box they done direct to the shower is this correct weiring

Are you able to post a pic as previously suggested?

Are you saying that you have connected the incoming and outgoing earths to the shower switch terminals but there is also an earth terminal in the back / mounting box and that is what you are asking about?
Your profile shows you have a business name. If this is an electrical business I would refer this query to your cps provider.

An earth must be provided at every accessory and point of utilisation, so if the earth runs from the supply direct to the shower, bypassing the switch, then you need to run a new earth either back from the shower to the switch or forward from the supply to the switch.

Are the Earth wires connected at the pull switch? where are they connected?
