Asi dint got any answers here is the custom function that can achieve this. Hope it helps others

            //alert(dateText);
             var theDate = new Date(Date.parse($(this).datepicker('getDate')));
             var maxdate = $.datepicker.formatDate('d-m-yy', theDate);
var theMinDate = new Date(Date.parse($("#datepicker_1").datepicker('getDate')));                 
            var mindate = $.datepicker.formatDate('d-m-yy', theMinDate);

            alert(mindate + "\n" + maxdate);
            var stamp1 = str2date(mindate).getTime(); //First date. getTime() converts it to an integer
            var stamp2 = str2date(maxdate).getTime(); //Second date
//alert(stamp1);
//alert(stamp2);
for(var i=0; i<unavailableDates.length; i++){
   var curStamp = str2date(unavailableDates[i]).getTime();
   if(curStamp >= stamp1 && curStamp <= stamp2) //Check if it falls in range
       alert(unavailableDates[i] + " falls in range");

}
