Thanks Yazdy ji, for the explanation. But, to me, these pictures represent at least three trees (i may be wrong, though): Tree 1-unripe fruit (IMG 5576); Tree 2-ripe fruits (IMG 5591). These two must be Cordia, as also stated by Neil ji and Mahadeswara ji, as the fruiting calyx is enlarged and persistent. The young leaves (pl check the following links to see leaf margin) and the twig with only leaves (i.e. IMG 5592; pl see the leaves are different from that of IMG 5591) may be from one tree which i think is Gmelina arborea. But only you can confirm this.
