suppose your file name is abcd.sh
Code:
 
sh abcd.sh

You can debug the script with additing -x
Code:
 
sh -x abcd.sh

Not quote. A dot runs the given file in the context of the current shell. Think of it like an #include in C/C++. If the script modifies the environment, you'll have the effects in your current shell, which not always is what you want.

I am aware of all the above possibilities. i am looking for a particular command which will help to run the script with out execute permission to the file.

I forgot that command.
Example, Some files like .bashrc in home directory of a normal user will use that command.
