//Here pdate is the string date time
var date1=GetDate(pdate);
    function GetDate(a){
        var dateString = a.substr(6);
        var currentTime = new Date(parseInt(dateString ));
        var month =("0"+ (currentTime.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2);
        var day =("0"+ currentTime.getDate()).slice(-2);
        var year = currentTime.getFullYear();
        var date = day + "/" + month + "/" + year;
        return date;
    }
