Untravelled Railway reservation ticket fare refund

Sir.

I am also having a complaint. I booked two tickets from Trivandrum to Guruvayoor on15.1.2011 (Departure -Night 11.15 from Tvm) in 2nd AC sleeper waitlisted as 3 & 4. I reached at Tvm station at 11 .15 o"clock. But waiting list not cleared and TTR not allowed me to travel in that train. Next day morning I presented the ticket for refund. But the authorities rejected the claim by saying that 6 hours passed from departure time of the train. Sir, is it justice? Railway has no loss relating my ticket. Another passengers travelled and so the waitlist not cleared. I have suffered physically and mentally so much. Why cant Railway refund the untravelled (paid in advance) fare about Rs.1300/-.? Here, the cancellation is none of my fault. I am ready to travel. Railway not permitted for W/o clearance of waitlist. As such Railway is liable to pay the fare at any reasonable time when I claimed. The common time lag of 6 hours not applicable here. If iam cancelling a sure ticket after departure of train it is O.K. Here I am compelled for cancellation. Common justice is to refund my fare urgently. Who will redress this grievance Sir?
