why local timeZone String is getting appended in the UTC date?
<p>I want to get a Date Object in UTC Time Zone so i am converting it first to a String which is returing me correct UTC Date String but when i am again parsing it to Date object then Local Time Zone String(ie. IST) is getting appended in that  Date instead of UTC.</p>

<pre><code>        Date date = new Date();
        DateFormat timeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
        timeFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
        String estTime = timeFormat.format(date);
        date = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss", Locale.ENGLISH).parse(estTime);
</code></pre>
