This is Crataeva. Member of Capparidaceae family. Most probably C. religiosa. Here attaching the detail description photo from Cooke's Flora.

But fruit doesn't matches with that of Crataeva religiosa.

[Kishan Prajapati]

It could be any other species of Crataeva. Pl. check more character like seed shape and color, if fruit is available. Thanks

Taxonomy of Crataeva religiosa in India is quite complex.

I think it is mostly Crateva adansonii subsp. odora as per images and details herein.
