Mohsin, for some reasons and the leaf shape, this plants looks very similar to a tree called
Jungle Jalebi, which grows wild in Karachi. It bears sweet astringent pods. It is very likely that your plant is the same Jungle Jalebi. The seeds are black, if I remember correctly.
See this link for the tree I am referring to:

It is a huge tree about the size of a Neem tree. Grow it somewhere else for shade where it can grow freely and people can enjoy its fruits.

It think it is a little tasteless fruit, neither very sweet or nor bitter. If I remember correctly, it has astringent sweet taste i.e. something like our jaaman.
