That looks like Ailanthus excelsa !!

[lavkumar khachar]

To me it looks like Alianthus . It is a tree animals do not browse and so will be found growing along roadsides and in wasteland. If allowed to grow, it becomes a huge tree. Of course, the best way to identify any plant if by the flowers, but then these are too small to have any.

Dear Dev Kumar
Attaching earlier thread about Ailanthus on Indiantreepix.
This tree belongs to Simarubaceae family I think closely related to Meliaceae family.
It flowers in spring to summer.
