You can file a consumer case for deficiency of service and informing the court to give directions to opposite party to pay compensation and cost for the case. Initially you should collect all the documents of the treatment which was done in hospitals. You should get a report of your wife's health before and after operation. If you have any doubts contact me.

Yes you can basis the report given the second doctor and you can claim compensation for the same. What you stated is medical negligence and is serious offence, and also you make a written complaint to Medical council of India (MCI) against the doctor.

yes. you can file, but with full clarity of reports and expert opinion stating that the diagnosed report Is false. however, the hospital take defence of lab report. for filing this complaint, take the guidance of medical experts in that filed to substantiate your case.
