Probably, Mappia foetida (Nothapodytes nimmoniana).

Hi Prof. Singh,
 It looks like some species of Pavetta.

Sorry to say but I think We should close this thread.
It is difficult to attempt an ID even when many features are visible; here I think only leaves are visible. Anybody attempting an ID is mere guessing with one visible character,considering the two responses we got. I think it will be worthwhile to wait for some character to develop on the plant such as flower or fruit.
Shobha ji I don't want to discourage you or anybody to post on the group but it would be helpful to post a plant with at least two or more clear morphological characters in the picture for suggestion of a pictorial ID what we are doing here on the group.
Luckily we have such  great experts in the group that many a times tiniest characters have been  searched by them even from simple pictures.That is not possible every time.
Dr Phadke

I agree with Neilji on Pavetta crassicaulis. Nothapodytes should have
been in flowers. I also agree with Satishji on 'wanting'
information..Regards, Shrikant

I think this is Nothapodytes nimmoniana i.e. Narakya.
Leaves are with tiny holes, which probably seen in Narakya only.
Pavetta leaf for comparison.

Dear Arvind Ji,
I think your plant is Nothapodytes nimmoniana but having holes in the leaves is not diagonistic to this plant. Theseholes may be dure to insect or fungal invasion! Kindly check couple of more photos from the link provided below, an intact plant doesn't have these holes.

the leaves are clustered at the end of the branches and are not
opposite, so it should be Mappia foetida.

Dear Tanay Ji, I know this is not a sign for ID, but I said probably
seen in Mappia foetida.
Almost 90% of the photoes on your thread also showing this feature.
Only tender leaves are not showing. Also one thing is that Branches
are having small white dotts which may be absent in Pavetta. Pavetta
leaf held against sunlight shows bacterial glands. Which are absent in
Mappia foetida.
Thanx.
Dr.Kadus Arvind,Pune.

Yes it is Nothapodytes nimmoniana (Graham) Mabb. (syn. Mappia foetida)
from family Icacinaceae
Locally Narkya in Maharashtra,,,
illegally seeds and barks of the plant are exported from the forest as
they are used in disease Cancer. (Alkaloid Camptothecin is extracted)
