Following seedling grew itself, most probably a non-flowering plant without seed ? But I do recognize cotyledons.
This pot has healthy growing Jatropha plant.

1Most probably from the genus *Phyllanthus*, hard to say which exact species though. We'll need flowers and fruits to determine that correctly. – benn Sep 25 '21 at 11:24

This plant belongs to the genus Phyllanthus of the family Phyllanthaceae. It can be Phyllanthus niruri or Phyllanthus amarus or Phyllanthus urinaria, commonly known as Child Pick-A-Back, Gale Of Wind, Carry Me Seed, Stonebreaker.
It is a flowering plant, though they too tiny to spot and blooms under the leaves. So are the fruits.
That's why it is often called as seed-under-leaf also.
These plants are said to have medicinal values, though I would not recommend to use them as there is insufficient evidence of its safety and effectiveness due to a lack of research.
It grows easily, does not require much care, if you want to keep it.

1Thanks a lot for looking into it. I just started gardening and do not want to just pull out any plant that grew itself, specially if I know they are dicots. Its seed must have came with the air or in the soil manure mix I bought from local Nursery. Not closing this thread until it grows flowers and fruit, need seeds cuz I love germination. – Ammar Ahmed Sep 26 '21 at 05:30
