Meta nitrophenol is the weakest in terms of acidity. Now in ortho nitrophenol,  intramolecular hydrogen between the adjacent hydroxyl (OH) & nitrogroups significantly affects the release of protons.  Thus,  the p-nitrophenol is more acidic than o-nitrophenol.

Is it(-OH) not affect in case of O-benzoic acid???.....and is not a case of ortho effect...then how it justified

Due to ortho effect 
O-hydroxy benzoic acid > p-hydroxy benzoic acid
 
 
Due to intramolecular hydrogen Bond
p-nitro phenol > o-nitro phenol
