Do not file RCR petition because it is of no use as she is not at all interested in the married life with you which can be evidently seen from the non-consummation of marriage nor showing any interest in the conjugal relationship with you.

You can challenge her maintenance cases on the same grounds.

2) you have to prove allegations made in your pettion that marriage has not been consummated

on receipt of the summons from court, if your wife is unable to substantiate that the marriage is indeed consummated then you do not need proof at the time of filing of the petition.

The doctor whom you consulted can be summoned to court as a witness, under oath he is bound to testify the truth only. Records for having consulted him can be produced by you as additional proof.

No doctor will give it in writing as rules framed by Medical Council of India (MCI) do not permit this. Such allegations are proved by ocular evidence.

Devoid of physical relation constitute matrimonial cruelty . You should file divorce petition. Don't afraid her complaint under sea 125 CRPC because she has no valid reason to live separate from you. Section 125 (3) prevents such type of wife to get maintenance.

Devoid of physicalrelation can be easily prove in your case because Law always presumes that husband and wife have physical relation if it is proved that they have been living together for long time. But also presumes that if husband wants child and both persons are capable , So devoid of child may infer that there has been devoid of physical relation.

You do not have to worry if you do not have any evidence to prove the non-consummation of marriage. You can file the case on the same grounds, wait and watch if she denies your allegation. If she says that the marriage has been consummated you can tell before court that if she is ready for the conjugal activities with you, you are ready to withdraw the case and take her back immediately. This will terrorise her and she withdraw her statement hurriedly or the fear of being force to have conjugal relationship with you. This will be more than an evidence to prove your case.
