It happens many a times that, due the heavy traffic on the server, before the e-booking is completed irctc server shows timeout. In this case the user has to login again.

Though Railway authorities says that one should verify booking before making booking again, but those who are rarely using the system, above error may occur.

In this regard my opinion is that :

Railway should reject duplicate booking at the server level itself, in case all the particulars matches. This facility is available in some of the private booking sites.

In genuine cases, the railway should consider refund of such tickets.
