In this scenario script_1 will not run on 26th but i would like to run on 26th because it failed on 25th but i tried re-running on next day or any other day on same month, if i re-run the main_Script for that month then it should script_1 should run. In this scenario if i take script_2 which runs every day shouldn't run for again because it was already successful on 25th daily run
If you want to force the main script to run script_1 learn about getopt/getopts and put in a flag to force the running of script_1:
Code:
force_script1="false"
while getopts f optName
do
   case "$optName" in
      f) force_script1="true" ;;
      *) ;; # just ignore for now
   esac
done
shift $((OPTIND - 1))

Now if the date is not the 25th you check to see whether ${force_script1} is set to "true" (the string, not the boolean).
I don't understand why you don't want to run script_2 if you are having to rerun script_1. It's a different day; you are running script_2 daily. Right? Unless the main script is being run daily from cron?

And there is this:

which implies that script_2 should not run EVER on the 26th because it ran successfully on the 25th!

sa2

SA2(8)								Linux User's Manual							    SA2(8)

NAME

       sa2 - Write a daily report in the /var/log/sysstat directory.

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/sysstat/sa2

DESCRIPTION

       The  sa2  command is a shell procedure variant of the sar command which writes a daily report in the /var/log/sysstat/sardd file, where the
       dd parameter indicates the current day. The sa2 command handles all of the flags and parameters of the sar command.

       The sa2 command is designed to be started automatically by the cron command.

EXAMPLES

       To run the sa2 command daily, place the following entry in your root or adm crontab file:

       5 19 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sysstat/sa2 -A &

       This will generate a daily report called /var/log/sysstat/sardd It will also remove reports more than one week old.

   Debian note
       The Debian sysstat package  has	already  placed  such  an  entry  in  your  system  crontab.   Please  refer  to  the  /usr/share/doc/sys-
       stat/README.Debian file for details.

FILES

       /var/log/sysstat/sardd
	      Indicate the daily report file, where the dd parameter is a number representing the day of the month.
