Hello Singh,

this sounds like occupancy group is not defined correctly.
You can read more about this here:
http://phenix-online.org/documentation/reference/refinement.html#occupancy-refinement

or you can send me PDB file before and after refinement and I will 
suggest a solution.

I have structure of a protein in complex with triglycan (fucose-galactose-galactose). The terminal galactose of this triglycan possesses two conformations with occupancies 0.4 and 0.6. In order to satisfy the geometric parameters of this triglycan, I derived the alternative conformation of fucose and the central galactose as well. Then I performed occupancy refinement. The occupancy of alternative central galactose is 0.06 and that of alternative fucose is 0.00. Now the question is, should I delete this fucose of zero occupancy or keep it to maintain the geometric parameters of triglycan? I am looking forward for your opinion. If you like I can provide a snapshot of ligand with electron density.
