Neha ji ... stressed my guess based on the pod that could be seen in one of your photos. For kind of width to length ratio of these leaves, slight variance in the shape may show the shape as EITHER cuneate OR obovate ... simply my opinion, may not be a correct thought.
Here is my sighting of of pod and leaf of *C. spectabilis* at Mahabaleshwar, 13 JAN 2008 for comparison ... pod and leaf in your photos look quite the same. The other question is: any other *Crotalaria* close to this species ... ... seems unlikely.
