Here is an approach using stat:-

Code:

#!/bin/ksh

st_date=$( date -d"Dec 01 02:02" +%s )
en_date=$( date -d"Dec 02 05:07" +%s )

for file in *
do
                fl_date=$( stat --printf=%Y $file )

                if [ $fl_date -ge $st_date ] && [ $fl_date -le $en_date ]
                then
                        print $file
                fi
done
