It seems to be a Strychnos species. Preferably woody climbers.

Thanks, Veera ji, Shivaprakash ji and Santhan ji.
Does not match with either of these as per the following:
https://efloraofindia.com/efi/cinnamomum/
https://efloraofindia.com/efi/flacourtia-montana/
https://efloraofindia.com/efi/strychnos/

Leaves seem to be alternate.

Can you try new images of the whole habitat of  plants. Try to new images of the flowers and fruits or seeds.

Thank you all

The reason for the confusion is the juvenile stage of the plant. Often the newly growing twig differs from the flowering and fruiting twig. Branch here is actively growing. Thorns are a characteristic feature of Strychnos, so also venation.
