This is working because with this code you don't hit the problem method.
If you write:
class InterfaceCheck
{
        public static void main(String[] args)
        {
                Manager1 ma1 = new Manager1();
                ma1.getData1();
        }
}

and you run it, you will get:

Why this is working ?
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: 
	The type Manager1 must implement the inherited abstract method PersonManager.getData1()

	at com.lara.Manager1.getData1(Manager1.java:4)
	at com.lara.InterfaceCheck.main(InterfaceCheck.java:7)

This works as expected.
Closing as INVALID.
