Best Answer

I know your question is too old for this to be useful to you, but just as a reference, A booked ticket i.e. a reservation ticket issued for a train is valid only on that train on that date. It can neither be used for travel in another train or another date. point no. 649 in http://www.indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/codesmanual/CommManual-I/ComercialManualCh6_data.htm clarifies this.

However you or someone wanting a similar facility can make use of break journey facility (as explained in http://www.indianrail.gov.in/break_Journey.html) for a purpose similar to yours.
