Doctor's witness:

Can we call the doctor as witness who has treated a mental patient to confirm the mental disease. If so, under what section? Relevant case laws also please? If he refuses to come what is the procedure to make him to come to court?

Why? You have not specified.

Sir, Nobody can be forced to appear as witness against his will and better judgement. Certificate from a single doctor is not sufficient to prove a person as mentally unstable. Good luck, Kishor Mehta
