I have been micromanaged all this while and I just found out about it. After researching about this newly learned term. I have found out that many opposed this system.

Can this issue be reported to the ethics committee or HR personals?

Analyzing ethical issues is not HR's responsibility. Acting as the representative of the company to the employees, educating employees on company policies and enforcing them through disciplinary measures if necessary and ensuring company-wide compliance with the applicable labor laws and regulations is what HR is responsible for and what it does - or at least, is supposed to do.

Feel free to report micromanagement to the ethics society if you want to, but it's not clear to me what the ethics society can do for you or what your complaint gets you.

The perception of micromanagement is highly subjective, unless we are dealing with the special case of control freaks. I wouldn't equate close supervision at critical moments and being vigorous and careful about important detail with micromanagement but some may resent it as exactly such.
