..., I am not able to make out the size of fruit in the photo.
M. maderaspatana fruit is almost the same size as its flower, and that is just about a centimetre (it is about 8 - 9 mm). In other words, it is pea sized.
Looks like Cucumis.
It is the Wild Cucumber [Cucumis trigonis] locally called Karit / Davderi.
sorry friends.
it is Cucumis setosus fruits having setose hairs
In Cucumis setosus the fruit are about 1.5 cms long by 1 cm broad [and look like 'Garlic Pearls'] whereas in Cucumis trigonis [Cucumis melo subsp. agrestis] the fruit are much larger [and look like an 'egg'].
I therefore feel that ... plant is the latter.
