Whether the arrival at KALKA (KLK) by the train No. 12311 (HWH DLI KLK MAIL) is connected to departure of train No. 52451 (SHIVALK DLX EXP)?
Comming 20-Sep-2011 my neighbour family is scheduled reach KALKA (KLK) at about 04:30 hours and just before 05:30 hours (that is within less than an hour) they are planning to board on Train No. 52451 (SHIVALK DLX EXP) from the same station KALKA (KLK) accordingly planned to reserved tickets for train No. 52451 (SHIVALK DLX EXP) on the same date & station.
Now

the question is, whether their planing of boarding train No. 52451 (SHIVALK DLX EXP) on the same date of arrival by the train No. 12311 (HWH DLI KLK MAIL) is going to be risky if the train No. 12311 (HWH DLI KLK MAIL) reaches late at KALKA (KLK)?
Please help in this regard.

IS NOT IT AN UNREASONABLE AND IMPROPER DENIAL OF RESERVATION?"
I have paid for an India Railway Journey ticket from Dehradun (DDN), to Howrah JN (HWH) while there were adequate berths availability but desired to board from Haridwar Jn (HW) - a station after Dehradun (DDN). Adequate berths were still available even after my said booking was confirmed.
However, instead of adequate berth availability, before and even after making required full payment for the journey between Dehradun (DDN) and Howrah JN (HWH), we have denied confirmed berths by Indian Railways (IRCTC) since, as
...
more...
it appeared to me, that we have desired to board from a station after initial station Dehradun (DDN).
So, the entire observation made me confused that when Indian Railway (IRCTC) accepted payment for a Reservation Ticket between Dehradun (DDN) to Howrah JN (HWH) stations, then how can they (IRCTC) allow someone else to avail the same berth already reserved and paid by me and even keep allowing the same person to occupy same berth even after I board in the train from Haridwar Jn (HW)?
So after realising said action, later, I was compelled to cancel my ticket and lost Rs. 80/- towards IRCTS Charge and others for such compelled cancellation of tickets also suffered loss in term of time and Internet connection.
Therefore, I don not find such of an action by a statute like Indian Railway or IRCTC is reasonable in anyway but an arbitrary and unreasonable one. Such action violates my Fundamental Rights too.
Is there anyone here who can enlighten me REASONABLY that my said interpretation about Indian Railway is incorrect?

Sir,
You are correct that the date of Journey is 1st December 2010.
However, the question of said "non-turning" up does not and can not apply in the instant case since it

is clearly mentioned in the ticket concerned, as well as in my above posting, that my desired boarding station is Haridwar Jn (HW) where IRCTC have accepted full payment for a distance between Dehradun (DDN) and Howrah JN (HWH).
And the question of requisition of boarding point has already been properly addressed by me as per the applicability of an online e-ticket booking.
Since the Payment has been accepted for a reservation ticket between Dehradun (DDN) and Howrah JN (HWH) so, as a buyer of that ticket, I am to avail the benefit of occupying concerned berths between these two stations.
I wish to mention that laws or rules of a statue can not violate ones fundamental right.

Re# 86436-6              

Sir,
Your mentioning, "Railway does not permit a passenger to board from a station than what he has booked the ticket with" IS NOT APPLICABLE in instant case since the same said "railway" accepted my boarding point other than from a station what I have booked the ticket with and the same is clearly mentioned in the concerned ticket.
So question of going

to the nearest PRS Counter AGAIN before 24 hrs of the departure of the train concerned DOES NOT AND CAN NOT APPLY in the instant case as, it has already been accepted by said railway.
Also note that the distance between starting station and boarding station is much more LESS than 200 km or whatever.
Thank you.

Re# 86436-13              

Sir,
1. It is understandable that "Berth availability from Dehradun to Howrah has nothin to do with berth availability from Haridwar to Howrah." and that is not my concern too. However, since IRCTC or Railway accepted a payment form Dehradun to Howrah so I am entitled to avail the reservation from Dehradun itself reasonably. If this providing the reservation is not acceptable by IRCTC or Railway then they should not have taken a higher amount for the ticket between Dehradun and Howrah rather they should have taken lesser money for
...
more...
the boarding station Haridwar to Howrah.
2. Please note that if I need to board from Haridwar then I can find trains from all the options legally available to me while purchasing an e-ticket but you can not stop me to find trains only between Haridwar to Howrah but if you reasonably do so then you (in this case IRCTS or Railway) too have to restrain me charging me only for the journey between Haridwar to Howrah but not a higher charge for Dehradun to Howrah but that is not the instant case.
3. Your interpretation about my booking in ac 2 tier is NOT even correct, rather it was a Sleeper 2nd Class booking and I have lost Rs. 80 charges towards IRCTC booking charges and Bank charges, while IRCTC is Railway's Authorised Agent and a Public Limited Company.
Finally, I am sure my post is clear enough but one needs to see the history of the booking well of said PNR 2642298112. where merely cancelling a ticket does not cancel the issue of fundamental defects. And my issue perfectly involves the same!

Your reply has nothing to do with my issue, my issus is clear, that I am entitled to avail the reservation from Dehradun reasonably. If this providing the reservation from Dehradun is not acceptable by IRCTC or Railway then they SOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN a higher amount for the ticket between Dehradun and Howrah rather they should have EXACTLY taken lesser money for the boarding station Haridwar to Howrah.

Reply to the question, "If he was denied a berth, how cud he cancel his ticket, ..." that one needs to see my issues about the higher charge between Dehradun to Howrah while I have desired to board from Haridwar.
How, reservation can not be provided to a person from Haridwar who paid higher ticket/reservation charge from Dehradun while reservation is easily available from Dehradun?
Why
...
more...
not receiving a higher charge was denied by IRCTC or Railway right then the passenger wanted to board from Haridwar?
These are indeed unreasonable act and violates fundamental rights, One needs to understand what fundamental rights is versus rules or laws of any statue.
Thanks

avail the journey, of such confirmed ticket, or (ii b) fails to board on the train for any reason then he/she can either file a TDR (if the e-ticket is purchased online) by himself or through the agent from where he has purchased the ticket from, stating the reason of his inability to avail the service, thereafter, upon verification a portion of the amount may be refunded to the account from there money for purchasing said ticket has been debited.
2. A wait listed ticket (WL) IF NOT GETS CONFIRMED (right after the chart is prepared):-
You don't need to worry or to take any action....
i. the amount of the un-confirmed (WL) e-ticket/s will automatically be refunded to the debit account from where the e-ticket was purchased by the railways but railways is not responsible for any other service related charges levied.
