Hi Srikar,
try this following code 
string sTime = '10:10';
 String[] strTimeSplit = sTime.split(':');
 Time timeChange = Time.newInstance( Integer.valueOf(strTimeSplit[0]) //hour
                                     ,Integer.valueOf(strTimeSplit[1]) //min
                                     ,0                                //sec
                                     ,0);
                                   system.debug('timeChange==> ' + timeChange);
I am sure it will help you. let me know and close your query by marking it as solved.

HI Srikar,
Your ask seems similar to https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/148660/deserializing-a-string-from-json-to-datetime-in-apex-yields-invalid-format-err You might want to try the approach of using DateTime.parse('11/6/2014 10:10 AM')

If this information helps, please mark the answer as best.Thank you

Hi Srikar,

String timee = '10:10 a';
DateTime dt = Datetime.now();
String strTimeInAMorPM = dt.format(timee);
system.debug('Time : '+strTimeInAMorPM);

Hi All,
Thank you for the quick response. The problem is the above mentioned code working when the string contains '10:10' or '10:10 a', but the problem here is we are getting the value as '10:10 AM' in the JSON. we need to read that and covert to time format and set it in the field which is of time.

Thank you,
Srikar

Hi srikar reddy , you can use this code
String timeStr = '3:14 AM';
String[] splitTime = timeStr.split(' ');
String[ ] splitTime2 = splitTime[0].split(':');
String timeFormated = (splitTime[1].indexOf('PM') != -1 ? (Integer.valueOf(splitTime2[0])+10)+'' : (splitTime2[0]))+':'+splitTime2[1];
System.debug('>>>>>>>>>>>>'+timeFormated);
String inputDate = System.now().format('yyyy-MM-dd');
inputDate += ' '+timeFormated;
System.debug('>>>>>>inputDate>>>>>>'+inputDate);
