Here, there is an small volume which is indicated by volume 2 inside another volume indicated by  volume 1. The plane surfaces 34 and 36 of volume 2 are coincide with the the plane surfaces of  47 and 49 of volume 1. Problem is when I am doing the 3d mesh, it can be seen that only the surfaces of volume 1 are meshing, not the whole volume.

Your definition of Volume(1) is wrong: it should be

Surface Loop(46) = {47, 51, 57, 49, 53, 42, 38, 44, 40, 55};
Volume(1) = {46};
