method name can be same but method signature have to be different to
coexist.

Change one of the dis by adding parameter to it.
Eg:-
void dis() {
// do something
}

static void dis(String parm){
// do something else
}

What is 'S.o.p'? I see no definition.

Please provide SSCCEs.

Consider indenting code by a few spaces as suggested by the Sun Java coding
conventions (Sun, 1999) and nearly universally practiced.

ck answered your main question. The compiler resolves method signatures first,
'static' and other qualifiers after. Two methods with the same name in the
same class must have different signatures (overloading).

Methods have to be different in their signatures; the signature is made up
of the case-sensitive name and the parameter types, in order. Since
neither return type or modifiers like static form part of the signature,
you cannot have a static and a non-static method with the same name and
parameter list, nor two methods with the same name and parameter list that
returns different things.

Nor, I think, methods that differ only in whether (or how) an argument is
genericized, e.g. not both

void method(List l)

and

void method(List<T> l).
