Comparing current date

Hi,

I have start date and end date in the following format. I need to check the current date is greater than the start date and less than the end date. if i use the command date --date "Tue 6:00 AM", it takes next Tues day not the current week's Tues day. Is there a way to get the current Tues day?
start date-end date
Tue 6:00 AM-Wed 10:00 PM

Thanks,
Selva
