Yes sir I have checked comparative images at site but can't find any match.
Finally Garg sir I recently checked description by JD Hooker sir and also find some old Herbarium images and compared them with my preserved samples and now I am very much sure that it must be Impatiens glauca.
The plant is tall glabrous and glaucous having ovate-oblong leaves about 13cms long and 10cms wide with crenate margins and whitish lower surface. Capsule is about 3cms long linear..Flower is light pink rose coloured with naviculuar lip. Plant was found at 2100metres altitude.
