GoAir — Cancelled the flight at the last moment such that refund is less

I planned a trip a long time back to Leh. My flight was on 9th June by G8 221and PNR was Y63RJF. I received an SMS at 8 20 pm on 8th June that the flight will be leaving Delhi as scheduled. So I told MakeMyTrip to cancel the flight as my booking for a stay in Leh was canceled. But the flight was canceled later. I think this was done such that the airlines can charge the cancelation fee; Knowing fully well the flight would not operate to send a message some 12 hours before the departure on the contrary is a piece of purposeful misinformation. And I would suggest that I should be considered for a full refund.
