Welcome to the forum!

You want the image (which looks like a rock with wings?) to show in the blue window area of the other image behind it? 

What about the black parts, where it says Vijay lubricants, at the top, or the triangle on the left side, where it says Premium Quality and 50l?  Do those parts need to show, or not show?

Thanks for the reply.

This is a label design, so everything on it needs to be printed.
My question is,

All parts of the design is a single group.
when i add an image inside the group (The engine picture with oil) the image gets cut out outside the group boundary.
I want to know how it is done.

 When i move the picture (The engine picture with oil) the part of the image outside the group boundary needs to be displayed.

Thanks

It seems like your question has changed now.  My best guess is that there's clip or mask applied to it.  If you select the object (with Selection tool) and look at the status bar, it will tell you if there's a clip or mask.  If so, do Object menu > Clip > Release or Mask > Release.

Or if you could share the SVG file with us, we could tell you exactly what's happening and what to do.
