If it is a secondary address (as i thought initially) it should still show up when i do "sh int".
Below i have pasted the output-

--------------------------
I have put an 'x' in the actual ip address on eth 0/1 but rest of the output is as it is.
How do i check for a loopback interface address? And what is the purpose of giving such an ip address for a loopback interface?

Can you post the config? It could simply be a secondary address, for example:
Interface Ethernet 0/0
ip address 201.x.x.254 255.255.255.0
ip address 201.x.x.1 255.255.255.0 secondary
Or you could have a loopback interface with that address.
