Hello,
I reviewed that circuit and it looks like the diode D14 is used bypass R80 and R82 when discharge C64. This will give a faster discharge of C64 which would have been 5*(R80+R82)*C64 limited for discharge.

1. D15 cathode connected to C15 cannot discharge?
2. What is the purpose of D1 & D5 ? is this to rectified again? or when C1 get discharged voltage want to come back to the rectifier?
Please advice

Hello,
1. C64 is charged and discharged with a 12 V supply. To reset this circuit C64 needs to be discharged. The only reason I could see for the need of diode D14 was to discharge C64 faster by bypassing resistors R80 and R82.
2. Diodes D1 and D5 are boost diodes.
