Hi Mohan,
I think you may have your axes mixed up. Try this and see:

set1<-read.table(text="duration duration.1
16:03:41       0.05
17:03:41       0.27
18:03:43       1.22
19:03:45       1.51
20:03:47       1.27
21:03:48       1.15
22:03:50       1.22
23:03:52       1.27
00:03:54       1.27
01:03:55       1.22
02:03:57       1.26
03:03:59       1.57
04:04:01       1.31
05:04:03       1.24",header=TRUE)
set1$duration<- as.POSIXct(paste(c(rep('2013-08-24',8),rep('2013-08-25',6)),
  set1$duration))
par(mar=c(10,4,4,2))
plot(set1$duration,set1$duration.1,type="b",col="blue",ylab="",xaxt='n',
  xlab="",las=2,lwd=2.5,lty=1,cex.axis=2.5)
axis(1, at = set1$duration, labels = set1$duration, las = 2,cex.axis=1)
par(mar=c(5,4,4,2))
