Thank you very much. The monkeys appeared to be eating the seeds by breaking
open the seedpods. The seed pods were also not split open (probably not mature)
but twisted and broken to extract the seeds. I found on Wikipedia that the
seeds were toxic if consumed raw. I wonder whether these monkeys could be
eating them without facing any harm. Unfortunately the tree was on a ravine and
I could not get closer to collect seeds or leaves. - Vijay

It seems Adenanthera pavonia, seeds should be reddish and biconvex
