The leaves and fruits remind me of Gmelina arborea.

Regards,

Aarti

The Id by Anjaneyulu is correct.  This is known as Shivani tree in Karnataka.  This is an important timber yielding tree ; also  an avenue tree as seen  in Mysore. 

The fruit is edible.    The plant parts are of medicinal use.

By the by,  one of the best postings on the tree depicting the fruits. I have never seen this much fruits here.  The tree also attracts birds.
