Hibiscus praeteritus R. A. Dyer does not have any distribution in India as per Catalogue of Life;
This appears to be Hibiscus hirtus as per images and details herein.

This book
lists several names In india

CRC World Dictionary of Medicinal and Poisonous Plants: Common Names, Scientific Names, Eponyms, Synonyms, and Etymology (5 Volume Set)

so it must be growing for several years at least to have so many ethnic names

---

besides its leaves are different
and the flower size , color and the seedpod look different

i go with Hibiscus praeteritus R. A. Dyer


Catalogue of life may have mistakes,

Hi, Digpati ji,
Was it a wild or a garden plant ?

I am taking it as Hibiscus hirtus as per images and details herein as I find no reports of Hibiscus praeteritus being cultivated in India.

I never had any doubts it being Hibiscus hirtus . 
But in Feb 19 I had the occaision to see white variants on parched hills of Bhaje (Home to Popular Bhaje Buddhist caves ) near Lonavala MH and it confused me for a very long time , mainly because flowers were borne on leafless stems !   With leaves on , comprehensive image makes the identification easier .
