High-spin states of neutron-deficient trans-lead nucleus 
were populated up to 
excitation through the 
fusion evaporation reaction. Decay of the associated levels through prompt and delayed 
-ray emissions were studied to evaluate the underlying nuclear structure. The level scheme, which was partly known, was extended further. An isomeric 
level with observed mean lifetime 
, was established from our measurements. Attempts were made to interpret the excited states based on multi quasiparticle and hole structures involving 
, 
, and 
shell model states, along with moderate core excitation. Magnetic dipole band structure over the spin parity range: –
was confirmed and evaluated in more detail, including the missing cross-over E2 transitions. Band-crossing along the shears band was observed and compared with the evidence of similar phenomena in the neighbouring 
, 
isotones and the 
isotope. Based on comparison of the measured B(M1)/B(E2) values for transitions along the band with the semiclassical model based estimates, the shears band of was established along with the level scheme.
