Problem with using between condition

Question

Hi all,
In my query I need to pass two dates , so I'm using between/ and condition it suppose return 24 rows but it returning 48 rows. If I use single date then I'm getting result correctly ie. 24 rows. Pls help me correcting my query.
SELECT sttl_item_nme
|| '|'
|| master_rpt_version_dt_sys
|| '|'
|| LTRIM
(MAX (SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH (sttl_item_amt, '|'))KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY curr),
'|'
|| '|'
|| SUM (sttl_item_amt)
|| '|' AS total
FROM (SELECT a.sttl_item_nme, master_rpt_version_dt_sys,
sttl_pub_cd,
NVL (b.sttl_item_amt, 0) sttl_item_amt,
ROW_NUMBER () OVER (PARTITION BY a.sttl_item_nme ORDER BY 1)
AS curr,
ROW_NUMBER () OVER (PARTITION BY a.sttl_item_nme ORDER BY 1)
- 1 AS prev
FROM nm_sttl_item_dtl_type a,
nm_sttl_item_dtl b,
nm_settlement c
WHERE a.sttl_item_num = b.sttl_item_num
AND b.sttl_id = c.sttl_id
--and sttl_item_nme in ('FTR Transaction Amount','DA Asset Energy Amount')
AND c.sttl_pub_cd = 'S14'
AND c.ptcpt_cd = 'DEMO'
--AND c.sttl_type_cd IN ('RTSTTL', 'DASTTL')
AND c.master_rpt_version_dt_sys between '04/17/2005' and '04/20/2005')
--AND c.master_rpt_version_dt_sys ='04/18/2005')
GROUP BY sttl_item_nme, master_rpt_version_dt_sys, sttl_pub_cd
CONNECT BY prev = PRIOR curr AND sttl_item_nme = PRIOR sttl_item_nme
START WITH curr = 1
ORDER BY master_rpt_version_dt_sys, sttl_pub_cd DESC,
sttl_item_nme
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Ghulam,
Using to_char function doesn't solve my problem . What actual the query is doing ,when I took multiple dates its concatenating the data from other dates along with the first date also.
The actual data for individual date is

when I used between '04/18/2005' and '04/20/2005' condition the result is
