You have posted that:
"we had consulted a doctor who told that is food poisioning and gives some medicines after 2 days when the condition is not getting suitable we have consulted another doctor he takes ecg and told that it is a normal chest infection'
Hope you have the copies of Dr.Rx showing diagnosis, ECG...................
Does this ECG (nowadays advanced machines do record finding like : Sinus tachycardia..................) and Dr.Rx after relating with ECG confirm MI or Heart Attack?
Usually Cardiologist/Specialists ask to go for advanced/specialized Or marker tests like Trop-T................
If the 1st ECG does not indicate Cardiac changes, MI, heart Attack as referred by you then how would you fasten the medical negligence on Dr.
later the Medical Board may have to opine.
Rather than acting in haste prefer to consult a very able counsel specializing in such/medico-legal/consumer matters with all docs on record and inputs for a considered opinion and to prepare/polish your plaint.

It is very sad you have lost your father.
He was given treatment in Hospital, doctors did what they thought suitable and best in the situation.
There seem to be no case of medical negligence by Max Hospital.
Even than if you want to proceed discuss with local lawyer.
