State government misused Article 371 (G) to revoke FRA in Mizoram, critics allege

The Mizoram government passed a resolution revoking the implementation of the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 (FRA) in its assembly session on November 19, 2019.

Under Article 371 (G) of the Constitution, Mizoram has a special provision which makes it mandatory for all legislations of Parliament pertaining to land ownership and transfer to be first passed by the state’s assembly through a resolution before it can be implemented in the state.

The state government used this provision of the Constitution to pass a resolution to revoke FRA from the state. The resolution was moved by K Beichhua, Minister of State at Mizoram’s social welfare department.

“The revoking of FRA using the special status provision of the Constitution by the Mizoram government is very similar to how the enactment of FRA was prevented in Jammu and Kashmir using Article 370, when the Bharatiya Janata Party and People’s Democratic Party-led government was in power in the state,” Tushar Dash of Community Forest Rights — Learning and Advocacy, an advocacy group of experts and activists working for creating awareness about FRA, said.

The state, according to the Union Ministry of Tribal Affairs’ Monthly Progress Report on FRA, has not entertained any claims under the law. However, the same report says that the state had approved of the law in 2009.
