Many thanks Saroj ji.

I think the fading glory of the flowers is making them flattened, thus a different look.

Saroj ji, on second thoughts, I think the posted plant may not be Impatiens leschenaultii (DC.) Wall.

It does look different and unique..

Hopefully someone will help with the ID.

I agree with you and did not find any match after a long browsing.  Flower looks unique.

Thank you.

Saroj ji,

I think it is most probably Impatiens fruticosa Lesch. ex DC.
