Garg Sir, The probability of a Myrtaceae member also occurred to me and i searched a lot on *Syzigium* too!
Specially because the 4th image (041 13-04-2011 17-46-30.jpg) gives hint of hermaphrodite flowers and the 5th image (041 13-04-2011 17-46-54.jpg) clearly shows sub-marginal venation. On the other hand *Litsea* is a dioecious plant. Fruits (041 13-04-2011 17-45-42.jpg) are more like *Michelia champaca*, a Magnoliaceae member. But, i think, this plant in question cannot be a Magnoliaceae! Neither would i go for Myrtaceae, fruits are different and i think almost all flowers and fruits bear pedicel. So, only chance left to me is to vote for *Xylosoma* sp.
