I want something like this:-
taskkill 7z.exe after 50sec. code 1 code 2 code 3 7z.exe will be killed after 50 sec but the program should execute code 1 code 2 code 3 without waiting for the taskkill. May be 7z.exe would be killed when code 2 is being executed.

To kill 7z.exe after 50 seconds, you should use
start 7z.exe timeout /t 50 taskkill /im 7z.exe Put this in a batch file and use start to launch this process independently of the other (code1, code2, code3) stuff.
If CPU usage is important, may want to use ping with a loopback address and a timeout, like so:
@echo off :: Pause for approx. 50 seconds PING -n 51 127.0.0.1>NUL 2>&1 :: Force kill 7-zip taskkill /f /im 7z.exe
