As among T0 & T1 , T0 has got higher priority than T1 , if both are called
at the same time , T0 starts executing first . But internally how does the
control go back to T1 . I tried this in Keil in the debug mode and found
that the after RETI of T0 control goes to the main prog and then returns to
T1. Can somebody put some more light on this ? Thanks in advance.

I assume you're talking about the 8051 microcontroller here.
You're right if T0 and T1 have the same priority value,
but remember you can alter an ISR priority with the interrupt priority register.

That's exactly what the manual says.

The microcontroller does *not* service pending interrupts when executing the RETI
instruction.

This has been used in the past to create a "single-step" execution feature with a
debugger/monitor installed as an ISR that does *not* clear the interrupt flag.
When the ISR (the debugger) finishes (with a RETI instruction) the execution flow
goes backs to the main program for a single instruction and then returns
to the ISR again (remember the interrupt flag has not been cleared inside the ISR).

This can only be used with interrupt flags that are *not* automatically cleared
when the associated ISR is entered. Reading the manual, this applies
to the serial port ISR only in the standard 8051 model.
