Muthu ji
Taraxacum does have an leafy branched stem. There is a single head on scape. 
This one appears Sonchus arvensis to me.

Muthu Ji,

Pasting the link of my uploads where Gurcharan Sir identified this species - https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/indiantreepix/surajit/indiantreepix/ZlmjKtsjUr4/M_4K6Rywo-cJ

Hope it will help you to compare, specially the fourth image of the leaves.

Regards,

surajit

This seems to be a good candidate for being S. brachyotus, peduncle is glabrous, few hairs (not glandular) on phyllaries.
