Allahabad HC allows Gyanvapi mosque survey: Timeline of the case

The SC stopped the Gyanvapi mosque survey on July 24 and asked the Muslim side to go to the HC. The suit first arose out of a petition by a group of Hindu women seeking the right to worship Maa Shringar Gauri on the outer wall of the mosque complex. What is the main question of law here? The Allahabad High Court on Thursday (August 3) dismissed the Gyanvapi mosque committee’s challenge to the order of a Varanasi district court asking for a “scientific investigation/ survey/ excavation” of the premises, saying “scientific survey is necessary for the interest of justice”.

How Medical Cannabis Can Improve Your Quality of Life if You Have Chronic Pain

A new study measured the quality of life of more than 3,100 patients who were treated with various forms of medical cannabis, including THC, CBD, and products that combine the two. Most of the participants in the study reported using cannabis for chronic non-cancer pain while a smaller number used the drug for cancer pain, insomnia, and anxiety. In general, most patients reported improvements in quality of life in all areas, however, some of the changes either returned to baseline over the course of the study or were not clinically important. Many people with cancer-related pain, chronic pain, or other health conditions turn to medical cannabis to relieve their symptoms.
