I am only guessing but would it be one of the 2' gauge 2-8-2 from Mysore iron and Steel at Bhadravati?
It does look more like a B/1 or D/1 from CR.

Hmmm.. If this is not supposed to be an IR line and if Harsh's second assumption is correct, could this be a photo from the Achalpur - Murtazapur - Uavatmal line?

I should rather say this is an Ex IR ES class loco, during the time this picure was shot. Looks like it is handling a mixed passenger. Private railways operated passengers too?

Congratulations Harsh, you are correct. It is Mysore I&S and the loco a 2' gauge 2-8-2, Kitson built in 1922.I don't think they ran a public passenger service.
