Dear Mayur ji, According to the* eFlora of China* *Commelina maculata* Edgeworth, Trans. Linn. Soc. London, Bot. 20: 89. 1851.[Syn: *Commelina obliqua*Buchanan-Hamilton ex D. Don var. *viscida* C. B. Clarke; *C. paludosa* Blume var. *viscida* (C. B. Clarke) R. S. Rao & Kammathy.] has blue petals, 2 anterior ones is 10 mm, posterior one ca. 4 mm. Which mean the posterior petal will be nearly less than half the size of anterior ones, this character is completely missing from the plant photo provided by Garg Ji, where all the petals are of nearly equal sizes. In the link below you will find lot of pictures of *C maculata* uploaded by Garg Ji in WIKIMEDIA COMMONS the leaf structure also doesn't match with this plant.
