Sir,
I have filed the negligence case against prestigious Hospital for negligence of causing death of my mother..The matter has been admiteed before the State forum and issued notices to the respondent Hospital..But no one appaered..The bench asked me that I had made the hospital as party without naming the respondent and issued fresh notice to the respondent through the Director of the hospital..Now whether I will have to move fresh application for making amendment of the memo of party as my previous Memo of party was existed in the name of Hospital only and not through drector..???

No. You need not file fresh memo of parties as the hospital has been served only through its director. There is no addition of the parties.

Now do not try to over act,do simply as state commission has ordered.

In my view, the addition of the doctors is not an absolute necessity. However, since U have decided to do so, an application for addition will serve the purpose.

Directors are the persons responsible for any acts on behalf of the hospital. Therefore, the amendment to that effect in the complaint is not at all necessary.
The hospital is answerable through the directors and the directors have to delegate powers to any other person to respond to such complaints.

The first notice is rightly served to the Hospital.
Anyways, it is better to follow the directions of the Forum.
