IRREGULARITY IN DISBURSING THE DUTY OF TTE

I TRAVELLED FROM BANDEL JN TO SURI ON 01 NOV 11 BY 53045 MAYURAKSHI EXP PNR NO 6402689074. DURING THE TRAVEL OF 202 KM NO TTE CAME TO CHECK THE TICKET IN RESERVED COMPARTMENT D1 WHERE ONLY 6 TO 8 PASSENGERS WERE HAVING CONFIRMED TICKETS AS PER THE CHART AFFIXED ON THE TRAIN AND OTHER PASSENGERS WERE EITHER HAVING NO TICKET OR INVALID TICKETS AS THE PASSENGERS OF RESERVED COMPARTMENTS D1, D2 AND D3 NEEDS TO RESERVE A SEAT TO TRAVEL.

ON 3RD NOV WHILE COMING BACK I ALIGHTED AT BANDEL JN INSTEAD OF HOWRAH (NOT TRAVELLING 37 KM) AND TOOK A TRAIN TO NAIHATI JN (6 KM) AND PLANNED TO GO TO PALTA (13 KM) (TOTAL 19 KM AS PER THE RAILWAY CHART) BY ANOTHER TRAIN WHERE TTE COUGHT ME AND CHARGED ME RS. 259/- FOR NOT TRAVELLING IN PROPER ROUTE. I REQUESTED THE HEAD TTE TO WAIVE OFF THE CHARGE BECAUSE I AM NOT TICKETLESS BUT NOT TRAVELLING UPTO HOWRAH AND BY NOT DOING SO I AM TRAVELLING LESS DISTANCE OF 18 KM UPTO PALTA NOT UP TO THE HOWRAH. MY QUESTION IS THAT AM I SUPPOSED TO BE CHARGED THE FINE FOR NOT COMPLETING THE JOURNEY, SAVING MY AND RAILWAYS DISTANCE? WHICH I THINK I HAVE DONE FAVOUR TO RAILWAYS.
