Dinesh--

 I don't believe that this is a Cassia species, as all, I believe, have only simply compound leaves.

 I do not, however, know what it is.

Regards--
Ken.

Many many thanks Ken, for ruling out Cassia, one step towards ID.
Regards.

Yes Kenneth is right, Cassia does not have bipinnate leaves. From appearance of leaves it looks like Adenanthera sp.

I just found out. Adenanthera pavonia does have zigzag branches.
