Resolution

The issue exists in odbc.ini file and the parameter WireProtocolMode=1 is causing the behavior observed, here is more information on this parameter - 

WireProtocolMode 
Purpose 
Specifies whether the driver optimizes network traffic to the Oracle server. 
Valid Values 
1 | 2 
Behavior 
If set to 1, the driver does not optimize network traffic when communicating with the Oracle server. 
If set to 2, the driver optimizes network traffic for result sets that contain repeating data in some or all of the columns when the repeating data is in consecutive rows. It also optimizes network traffic if the application is updating or inserting images, pictures, long text data, or binary data. 
Notes 
*This connection property can affect performance. In some scenarios, setting the value to 1 may produce better results. 

When the value is set to 1, it seems to dropping some packets and causing the behavior. To resolve the issue this value can be removed from DSN entry or the value can be set to 2.
