Hi Sridhar, here's what I tried..
I used an Excel 2007 format sheet with 6/22/2011 in cell A1 and 15:16:17 in cell B1. Since this is Excel 2007, I used the XSSF classes instead of HSSF.

            XSSFCell cellDate = sheet.getRow(0).getCell(0);
            XSSFCell cellTime = sheet.getRow(0).getCell(1);
            Calendar date = Calendar.getInstance();
            date.setTime(cellDate.getDateCellValue());
            Calendar time = Calendar.getInstance();
            time.setTime(cellTime.getDateCellValue());

            System.out.println(date.getTime());
            System.out.println(time.getTime());

            Calendar cal = date;
            cal.set(Calendar.HOUR, time.get(Calendar.HOUR));
            cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, time.get(Calendar.MINUTE));
            cal.set(Calendar.SECOND, time.get(Calendar.SECOND));
            cal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, time.get(Calendar.MILLISECOND));

            System.out.println(cal.getTime());

That gives me the date as Wed Jun 22 03:16:17 GMT+05:30 2011
Hope that helps!
