Thanks for your help. I have found the solution. Your link also helped me at the right time.

 

Following is the way to check the date and month from a date field value.

 

public static string getMonthEnd(date thisdate ){
       String month;
            Integer dt =  thisdate.day();
            Integer dtMonth = thisdate.month();            
            if(dtMonth == 1){
              month = 'Jan'+' '+ string.ValueOf(dt);
            }
            if(dtMonth == 2){
              month = 'Feb'+' '+ string.ValueOf(dt);
            }
            if(dtMonth == 3){
              month = 'Mar'+' '+ string.ValueOf(dt);
            }
            if(dtMonth == 4){
              month = 'Apr'+' '+ string.ValueOf(dt);
            }
            if(dtMonth == 5){
              month = 'May'+' '+ string.ValueOf(dt);
            }
            if(dtMonth == 6){
              month = 'Jun'+' '+ string.ValueOf(dt);
            }
            if(dtMonth == 7){
              month = 'Jul'+' '+ string.ValueOf(dt);
            }
            if(dtMonth == 8){
              month = 'Aug'+' '+ string.ValueOf(dt);
            }
            if(dtMonth == 9){
              month = 'Sep'+' '+ string.ValueOf(dt);
            }
            if(dtMonth == 10){
              month = 'Oct'+' '+ string.ValueOf(dt);
            }            
            if(dtMonth == 11){
              month = 'Nov'+' '+ string.ValueOf(dt);
            }
            if(dtMonth == 12){
              month = 'Dec'+' '+ string.ValueOf(dt);
            }
        return month;
    }

 

It will return the string  'Oct 7' as the output. This might help others as well for future references. So, I'm marking this as a solution.
