Question
A mourner for his father who is at prayer on Tisha B'Av, can he be called up to the Torah since everyone is in mourning on this day?
Answer
He can be called up to the Torah since everyone is forbidden in Torah like him.
Source
Shaarei Teshuva, Siman 554, Seif 1: "And the Machab wrote in the name of Beit Yehuda, part 2, that one who is accustomed to being called up to the Torah on Tisha B'Av and becomes a mourner is permitted to be called up to the Torah in the morning because these are bad things, and everyone is forbidden in Torah like him. And the Machab wrote that it is obvious that he can be called up to the Torah and read the Haftarah, and it implies that even if he is not accustomed to being called up to the Torah on Tisha B'Av, the law is the same."
