Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();

c.setTime(date);

c.add(c.DATE,addoneday);
Timestamp ts = new Timestamp(new SimpleDateFormat("ddMMMyy/ HH:mm").parse(c.geTime()).getTime());

> Timestamp ts = new Timestamp(new SimpleDateFormat("ddMMMyy/
> HH:mm").parse(c.geTime()).getTime());

should be

Timestamp ts = new Timestamp(c.getTimeInMillis());

Timestamp ts = new Timestamp(new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy hh:mm").parse(formatter2.format(c1.getTime())).getTime());

You don't need to do any formatting/parsing if the source of the Date is the Calendar
