If your evidence is deemed to be crucial and not agreed between the defence and prosecution, you must go.
If you choose not to, the court may issue a witness summons with a request to attend, if you ignore this, the court CAN issue a witness warrant - this means that the police can attend and compel you to go to court. This is done as a last resort because you would then be deemed a "hostile witness" and thought to be under duress, therefore your evidence may not be given the same weight as if you attend voluntarily.
So - yes, you can be forced to attend the court if it is deemed it necessary

If the person fails to appear or does not satisfy the Court of the legality of his absence, it may be imposed a fine not exceeding Rs. If not done already, the court can recover Rs. 500 by attaching his property. Civil Procedure Code, 1908. Imperial Legislative Council
