@Sunny
I am assuming that the tree is rooted. There is no 'parent' pointer.
                  A
              /      \
           B         C*
          /               \
       D*                 F*
                          /  \
                        J      K
                       /  \
                           M*

suppose x=D, y=C, z=F
According to you, finding the lca of x and z=> A
Now y lies on path from lca to z, but it doesn't lie on path from x to z. Am
I missing something?
