Thank you so much.

 

After getting the name from you post,  I seached the net and it looks similar to Fumaria parviflora at the following link:

Hi, Suresh ji,

As per http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=242422492, Fumaria indica is "Very similar to Fumaria parviflora Lam. but leaf segments flat or almost fiat, very much like those in Fumaria vaillantii Lois., from which it differs by its bracts which are as long or slightly longer than pedicels. It is said to be a hybrid between the 2 species, Fumaria parviflora Lam. and Fumaria asepala Boiss., both recorded by Blatter & Fernandez (l.c. 675-676) from Waziristan are probably mis-identification of this species. These species do not occur in our area, but closely resemble Fumaria indica in having bracts as long as the pedicels. Used as fodder and in local medicines as blood purifier. "

A close-up of flowers may help.

Here is a reply from Anil Kumar ji <crazyg...@gmail.com>
"but at your place indica species is found."

 

Sorry, I have earlier called Anil ji as Mayur ji.
