State consumer forum

I had a spinal surgery done by an orthopadeic, but the surgery had to be redone again by an other orthopadeic due to  medical negligence. My discharge summary clearly mentions that 2nd surgery has been done only due to the failure of the 1st surgery.

1. Can I claim Rs 50 lacs as compensation for the medical negligence, pain and suffering undergone.?

2. Is there any time limitation for the claim?

3. Scan report is there but I do not have the Bill for it, can I claim expenses? 

4. Can I claim travelling expenses, I do not have bill for that also?

    Are there any Judgements for this? as I have filed this as party in person, the state commission has sent me a notice asking me to appear before it ..... I have only the SR no given to me, and the case has still not been numbered, I do not know why they are asking me to appear before them before numbering the case?

Pl guide me what I should do in front of the comission. All other hospital bills and discharge summaries of both the hospital has been submitted.
