As per Article 371G of the Constitution of India, special provisions have been made with respect to the state of Mizoram. Accordingly, no Act of Parliament shall apply on certain matters unless the Legislative Assembly of Mizoram so decides by a resolution. Which one of the following matters is not covered under this Article ?
- AReligious or social practices of the Mizos
- BMizo customary law and procedure
- CAdministration of civil and criminal justice involving decisions according to Mizo customary law
- DOwnership and transfer of natural resources
Explanation
Article 371G protects Mizoram on matters of Mizo religious and social practices, customary law and procedure, administration of civil and criminal justice under customary law, and ownership and transfer of land and its resources — no parliamentary Act on these applies unless the Mizoram Assembly so resolves. The Article's text speaks of land and its resources, not natural resources in general. Ownership and transfer of natural resources as such is therefore not covered. Hence option D is correct.
