    If I understand you right you can try

    var groupAname = "M34:D18:";
    var groupBname = "B57:D40:";
    var wrongCname = "b57;D40:";
    check(groupAname);
    check(groupBname);
    check(wrongCname);
    function check (nme) {
        var reg = /^([A-Z]\d{2}:){2}/;
        if( reg.test( nme ) == false) {  
            alert ("no match: "+ nme); return; }  
        else { alert ("match found: "+nme) }
        }

    or

    var groupAname = "M34:D18:";
    var groupBname = "B57:D40:";
    var wrongCname = "b57;D40:";
    var reg = /^([A-Z]\d{2}:){2}/;
    if( reg.test( groupAname ) == true) {
        alert("match "+groupAname + " = true");
        }
        else {
            alert("match "+groupAname + " = false");
            }
    if( reg.test( groupBname ) == true) {
        alert("match "+groupBname + " = true");
        }
        else {
            alert("match "+groupBname + " = false");
            }
    if( reg.test( wrongCname ) == true) {
        alert("match "+wrongCname + " = true");
        }
        else {
            alert("match "+wrongCname + " = false");
            }

    If so

    Have fun

    Hi Yogesh,

    does this helps you on your way?

    var sourceDoc=app.activeDocument;
    var grp = sourceDoc.groupItems;
    var reg = /^([A-Z]\d{2}:){2}$/;
    for ( var j=0; j<grp.length; j++ ) {
        if( check(grp.name) ) {
            alert(grp.name + " found");
            }
        }
    function check (nme) {
        if( reg.test( nme ) == false) {
            return false; }
        return true;
    }

    Have fun
