On the buttons, use disable when rule to check if the current date is greater than the entered date and on change of the date property control, refresh the section.

Thanks for the reply. But what if the EnterDate is a text property which will have the value like 01-MAR-2020. will the when condition works or is there any alternate way?

If that is the case you might have to convert it to Date. You can try the approach mentioned in below link,

There are a handful of ways to achieve this. This is probably the most straight forward.
1) On change refresh on the dates
2) Disable when condition on your buttons
3) Refer the when rule you've configured to check against your relevant dates.
