Let me answer my own question:
Date.getDay() returns the Day in the week from 0(Sun) to 6(Sat)
Calendar.get(DAY_OF_WEEK) returns day in the week from 1 (Sun) to 7(sat)
Also that,
System.out.println(cl.getMinimum(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK)); prints 1
System.out.println(cl.getMaximum (Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK)); prints 7
While setting the calendar, make sure that you are sending four digit year.

Subject: [ND] getting DAY_OF_WEEK from java.util.Calendar
The getDay() method in java.util.Date has been deprecated and
Calendar.get(DAY_OF_WEEK) is suggested as replacement.
My problem here is that Calendar.get(DAY_OF_WEEK) is not behaving
exactly as Date.getDay().
The value returned should be between 0 to 6 (0 for Sunday...). The value
returned by Calendar.get(DAY_OF_WEEK) is 2 short of the value returned
by Date.getDay(). Sometimes it returns 7 also
How do I work around this problem?
Thanks for your time,
Krupesha
