Lepisanthes tetraphylla - Sapindaceae?  I see.  I was not knowing.  But the paniculate inflorescences are lacking.

Dear Garg ji,
I am not sure of this....neven seen this species yet. sorry.
but just to inquire, did the plant exude latex?
The location of fruits and their shape makes me think it could be some euphorbiaceae/ phyllanthaceae member.  
but this is a wild wild guess...u cud altogether neglect it as well.

The basic question is whether the leaves are simple or compound.  If simple then Euphorbiaceae, otherwise may be Sapindaceae or Meliaceae.

It would be Harpullia arborea (Sapindaceae).
