Sir/madam,
My brother in law died due to negligency of the doctor of a govt. hospital. I m going to file a complaint against this medical negligency in the national commission of consumer forum. My ques. are that-
1. Wud i have to make the state govt., central govt., hospital and the doctor as opposite parties in the case?

2. Is it mandatory to issue notice to all of them before filing a complaint and if it is not mandatory, even then should i serve notice to all the opposite parties before filing complaint.

3. How much cud be the amount of claim as my brother in law was in govt. service and his salary was Rs. 90,000/-per month and the govt. is now providing monthly pension to the family that is around half of his salary i.e. Rs. 42000/-.

Please advice.
Regards and thanks...
