You can do one thing, instead of waiting till the date of journey. Cancel your grand father's ticket and take an other ticket for him. For 3rd August, still 19 berths are available in SS (lower berth) Quota and request the booking clerk for the coach option as S9. Here I suggest you to take a counter ticket (PRS ticket) rather than e-ticket. Because, in counter ticket the clerk might check for the nearest coach if S9 has no availability.
The chances of getting a LB/SLB in the journey is little less (I can't say you won't get), as most of them would travel with families, and single PNR's would be less.
