Solution

`Date.parse()` accepts dates in RFC2822 or ISO8601 formats.

In your case, it always returns `NaN`.

Date.parse("23:30"); // NaN

Using the appropriate Date format works as expected:

var open_time = Date.parse("2011-10-09T23:30");
var close_time = Date.parse("2011-10-10T06:30");
var check_val = Date.parse("2011-10-10T02:30");

if( check_val > open_time && check_val < close_time ) {
    var flag=1;
} else { 
    var flag=2
}
