I forgot to mention that it has a strong aroma, when inhaled the leaf crushed in hand, it gives like vicks or something mint like flavour in the throat

Seems to be Camphor tree
i had one in my front yard for more than a decade


but had never seen reddish stipules
that's worrying me

otherwise the leaves and the bark of this young plant seems to be the cinnamonium camphora

without crushing what does the plant // leaf small of when you go near it to sniff?

Thanks, Ushadi,
It does not match with images of Cinnamomum camphora
It also does not seem to be raktachandan i.e. Pterocarpus santalinus

A reply:
"Extrafloral glands on petiole tips are clearly visible there are chances of member of Rosaceae. Most probably an ornamental variety of some species related to Prunus; and plant's bark is also papery with longitudinal lines. 
Kind regards,
Varun"

Thanks, Varun ji.
