Neil ji ... have not seen such large white ¿ petal ? structure in Capparis sepiaria ... though the leaves look similar.

Yes this does not look like C. sepiaria as the flower are much larger.
i feel the stamens are much more than than in C. sepiaria.

Many thanks Neil ji for the location ... will try to reach there to explore this plant.
Agreeing with Satish Pardeshi ji, this Capparis sepiaria [Mastodi].jpg almost looks like C. zeylanica (which of course you are well aware of).
Let us wait for comments.

Muthu ji's query needs comments too.

Regards.
Dinesh
