I had got solution after a day war.Here it goes.I got solution from nokia developer site. you can get whether checkbox inside datatemplate is checked and its corresponding Textblock value.

 //Variables to store the count of checked Checkboxes and their data
    public string option_selected = "";
    public int check_count = 0;

    //SearchElement populates above variables for checkboxes in specified "targeted_control"
    public void SearchElement(DependencyObject targeted_control)
    {
        var count = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(targeted_control);   // targeted_control is the listbox
        if (count > 0)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
            {
                var child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(targeted_control, i);
                if (child is CheckBox) // specific/child control 
                {
                    CheckBox targeted_element = (CheckBox)child;
                    if (targeted_element.IsChecked == true)
                    {
                        if (targeted_element.Tag!= null)
                        {
                            // get the value associated with the "checked" checkbox  
                            option_selected = targeted_element.Tag.ToString();
                        }
                        // count the number of "Checked" checkboxes
                        //check_count = check_count + 1;
                        return;
                    }
                }
                else
                {
                    SearchElement(child);
                }
            }
        }
        else
        {
            return;
        }
    }
