Is there any other way to achieve this? Else I have to write too much of coding .

Input
Code:
 Dec 01 02:02
 Dec 02 05:07

If you have Perl installed in your system, then:

Code:
ls -1 | perl -lne 'BEGIN {use Time::Local;
                         $t1 = timelocal(0,2,2,1,11,2015); # Start time = "1-Dec-2015 02:02:00"
                         $t2 = timelocal(0,7,5,2,11,2015); # End time   = "2-Dec-2015 05:07:00"
                         printf("List of files modified between %s and %s\n", scalar localtime $t1, scalar localtime $t2);
                     }
                     @x = stat($_);
                     if ($t1 <= $x[9] and  $x[9] <= $t2) {
                         printf("%s| %s\n", scalar localtime $x[9], $_);
                     }'

timegm

TIMEGM(3)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							 TIMEGM(3)

NAME

       timegm, timelocal - inverses of gmtime and localtime

SYNOPSIS

       #include <time.h>

       time_t timelocal(struct tm *tm);

       time_t timegm(struct tm *tm);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       timelocal(), timegm():
	   Since glibc 2.19:
	       _DEFAULT_SOURCE
	   Glibc 2.19 and earlier:
	       _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

       The  functions timelocal() and timegm() are the inverses of localtime(3) and gmtime(3).	Both functions take a broken-down time and convert
       it to calendar time (seconds since the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000, UTC).  The difference between the two functions  is  that  timelo-
       cal()  takes  the  local  timezone into account when doing the conversion, while timegm() takes the input value to be Coordinated Universal
       Time (UTC).

RETURN VALUE

       On success, these functions return the calendar time (seconds since the Epoch), expressed as a value of type time_t.  On error, they return
       the value (time_t) -1 and set errno to indicate the cause of the error.

ERRORS

       EOVERFLOW
	      The result cannot be represented.

ATTRIBUTES

       For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).

       |Interface	      | Attribute     | Value		   |

       +----------------------+---------------+--------------------+
CONFORMING TO

       These functions are nonstandard GNU extensions that are also present on the BSDs.  Avoid their use.

NOTES

       The timelocal() function is equivalent to the POSIX standard function mktime(3).  There is no reason to ever use it.
