Sir, I do not know if these blister like growths are called leaf-blister or they are called 'galls'. But the species is the same as in https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/indiantreepix/eJFCyYVnbe0 and the same has been identified as *Trewia nudiflora* by Dr. Das and Sandhya Ji.
Thank you once again for taking care of this post too, as always.
