In a program, if it uses finally block, it will be executed. Is there any possiblity so that it(finally block) should not get executed in any condition. Please clarify.

Well... the main goal of a finally statement is that we are almost sure that it will be execute if exceptions are throw. If you don't want it to be executed just don't put a finally statement... or use a boolean in your finally
boolean doFinally = true;
try{
}catch (Throwable e){
doFinnaly = false;
}finally{
if (doFinally){
//Statement
}
}
But this is stupid code...

As far as I know, the only regular way to have a finally block not executed is to call System.exit(x) in the try- or catch-block.
