Had seen this plant, but could not make out. I thought some species of Polygonum, or some member of Ericaceae.

Dear Prashantji,

I wonder if it is P. paronychioides because the leaf size in your
plant looking much bigger than the normal leaf size of P.
paronychioides. A/c to Fl. Pakistan, it is 10 (-12) mm long in P.
paronychioides, whereas 10-25mm long in P. afghanicum, a very closely
allied species. You can check for the TYPE specimen at the virtual
herbarium of New york Botanical Garden (http://sciweb.nybg.org/
Science2/hcol/lists/polygonaceae.html)

P.S.: There is an ambiguity in the key and description of P.
paronychioides in Fl. Pakistan. Leaf size 10 (-12) in key, whereas
7.5-15 mm in description .

Further, I am unable to see the ochrea characters in your photographs
which are also deciding. Therefore, I would request you to please
check your specimens thoroughly once again. It could be P. afghanicum,
a new record for India.

Best regards,
Ritesh.

Polygonum paronychiodes should be the right answer. See this illustration:
