execution policy error while calling powershell script from batch file, powershell v 1.0

Question

I have created a PowerShell script to get files from a subfolder. This executes when I run from the PowerShell console after manually entering Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted, but when I call the same script from a batch file

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe D:\programs\abc\bin\xyz_clean.ps1

it throws an error:

xyz_clean.ps1 cannot be loaded because the execution of scripts is disabled on this system.

You can just call powershell from a command window:

C:\> powershell /?
C:\> powershell -executionpolicy unrestricted -file \\server\file.ps1

then save it to a .bat file:

C:\> echo powershell -executionpolicy unrestricted -file \\server\file.ps1 > file.bat
