I need to execute the script by passing previous date as command line argument. It must be automated. So, how can i pass the previous date to the script?
For example:
sh processFile.sh previousdate previousdate
shell-script command-line date

The correct answer may depend quite heavily on what type of Unix system this is for.

You could use this to get the previous day and pass it as an argument :
date +%Y-%m-%d -d "1 day ago"
for more refer man page of date to even manipulate minutes and seconds.

this will work:
sh processFile.sh "$(date +"%Y-%m-%d" -d "yesterday")" "$(date +"%Y-%m-%d" -d "yesterday")"

Sorry, got the answer. Posting that it would help someone.
It can be executed like this:
sh getDate.sh "$(date --date="-1 day" +%Y-%m-%d)" "$(date --date="-1 day" +%Y-%m-%d)"

With GNU date:
previousdate=$( date -d 'yesterday' +'%F' )
sh processFile.sh "$previousdate" "$previousdate"
With macOS date:
previousdate=$( date -j -v -1d +'%F' )
sh processFile.sh "$previousdate" "$previousdate"
