Html code:

<form name="FrmMessageSearch" ng-submit="searchMessages()" novalidate="novalidate">

<input type="text" name="fromDate" validate-from-date="{{message.toDate}}" ng-model="message.fromDate" jqdatepicker/>
<span ng-show="FrmMessageSearch.fromDate.$error.enterFromDate && FrmMessageSearch.fromDate.$dirty">Select From Date</span>

<button ng-disabled="(!FrmMessageSearch.$valid)" class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">
</form>

Js Code:

app.directive('validateToDate', function($log)
{
    return {
        restrict : 'A',
        require : 'ngModel',
        link : function(scope, element, attr, controller)
        {
            controller.$parsers.unshift(function(value)
            {
                var toDate = Date.parse(value);
                var fromDate = Date.parse(attr.validateToDate);

                var valid;
                if (value == '' && fromDate != '')
                {
                    controller.$setValidity('enterToDate', false);
                    valid = false;
                }
                else
                {
                    valid = true;
                    controller.$setValidity('enterToDate', true);
                    if (fromDate <= toDate)
                    {
                        valid = true;
                        controller.$setValidity('validateToDate', true);
                    }
                    else
                    {

                        controller.$setValidity('validateToDate', false);
                    }
                }

                return valid ? value : undefined;
            })
        }
    };
})
app.directive('validateFromDate', function($log)
{
    return {
        restrict : 'A',
        require : 'ngModel',
        link : function(scope, element, attr, controller)
        {
            controller.$parsers.unshift(function(value)
            {
                var toDate = Date.parse(attr.validateFromDate);
                var fromDate = Date.parse(value);
                var valid;

                if (value == '' && toDate != '')
                {
                    controller.$setValidity('enterFromDate', false);
                    valid = false;
                }
                if (fromDate <= toDate)
                {
                    valid = true;
                    controller.$setValidity('validateFromDate', true);
                }
                else
                {
                    valid = false;
                    controller.$setValidity('validateFromDate', false);
                }

                return valid ? value : undefined;
            })
        }
    };
})

i have written directives for very similar purpose, I am using moment.js for date validations, but you can replace them with javascript Date object.

csapp.directive('isPastDate', function () {

    var linkFn = function (scope, element, attrs, ngModel) {

      scope.$watch(function () {
            return ngModel.$modelValue;
        }, function () {
            var myDate = moment(ngModel.$modelValue).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
            var dateToCheck = moment(attrs.isPastDate).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
            var result = moment(myDate).isBefore(dateToCheck);
            ngModel.$setValidity("isPastDate", result);
        });

        attrs.$observe("isPastDate", function () {
            var myDate = moment(ngModel.$modelValue).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
            var dateToCheck = moment(attrs.isPastDate).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
            var result = moment(myDate).isBefore(dateToCheck);
            ngModel.$setValidity("isPastDate", result);
        });
    };

    return {
        require: 'ngModel',
        link: linkFn
    };
});

there are 2 parts to it, first one is if the start-date change and second one is if the end date change.

the start date needs to be validated in both cases.

csapp.directive('isFutureDate', function () {

    var linkFn = function (scope, element, attrs, ngModel) {

        scope.$watch(function () {
            return ngModel.$modelValue;
        }, function () {
            var myDate = moment(ngModel.$modelValue).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
            var dateToCheck = moment(attrs.isFutureDate).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
            var result = (moment(myDate).isAfter(dateToCheck));
            ngModel.$setValidity("isFutureDate", result);
        });

        attrs.$observe("isFutureDate", function () {
            var myDate = moment(ngModel.$modelValue).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
            var dateToCheck = moment(attrs.isFutureDate).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
            var result = (moment(myDate).isAfter(dateToCheck));
            ngModel.$setValidity("isFutureDate", result);
        });
    };

    return {
        require: 'ngModel',
        link: linkFn
    };
});

thanks for reply, But I need to prompt user to input toDate if user has entered fromDate but not toDate, ie I need to setvalidity of enterToDate from validateFromDate directive, so how do i do it??
basically the validation is on basis of date range, right? so what you want in all cases is, from date should be less that to date, right? thats what the above directive does

Thanks for your help, but I found a solution to it, incase some one would need it. .

I basically made following changes to my directives. . .

app.directive('validateToDate', function($log)
{
    return {
        restrict : 'A',
        link : function($scope, $element, $attr)
        {
            $scope.$watch('message.toDate', function()
            {
                var toDate = Date.parse($scope.message.toDate);
                var fromDate = Date.parse($scope.message.fromDate);

                console.log(toDate);
                console.log(fromDate);

                if ($scope.FrmMessageSearch.toDate.$dirty)
                {
                    if (($scope.message.fromDate == '') && ($scope.message.toDate == ''))
                    {
                        $scope.FrmMessageSearch.toDate.$setValidity("enterToDate", true);
                        $scope.FrmMessageSearch.fromDate.$setValidity("enterFromDate", true);
                    }
                    else if (($scope.message.toDate == '') && ($scope.message.fromDate != ''))
                    {
                        $scope.FrmMessageSearch.toDate.$setValidity("enterToDate", false);
                        $scope.FrmMessageSearch.toDate.$setValidity("validateToDate", true);
                        $scope.FrmMessageSearch.fromDate.$setValidity("validateFromDate", true);
                    }
                    else if (($scope.message.toDate != '') && ($scope.message.fromDate == ''))
                    {
                        $scope.FrmMessageSearch.fromDate.$setValidity("enterFromDate", false);
                    }

                        $scope.FrmMessageSearch.fromDate.$setValidity("enterFromDate", true);

                        if (toDate < fromDate)
                        {
