  The low-lying non-yrast states in $^{114}$Te have been investigated using the
Indian National Gamma Array through the fusion-evaporation reaction
$^{112}$Sn($^{4}$He, 2n) at a beam energy of 37 MeV. Eight new
$\gamma$-transitions have been placed in the level scheme to establish the
quasi-$\gamma$ band in this nucleus. Spin and parity of several excited states
have been assigned from the present spectroscopy measurements. The comparison
of experimental results on the observed bands with the Interacting Boson Model
(IBM) and Triaxial Projected Shell Model (TPSM) confirming the existence of the
quasi-$\gamma$ band structure in the $^{114}$Te nucleus.
