Fifth Schedule status

Not within a Fifth Schedule Scheduled Area

No Presidential Order under paragraph 6 of the Fifth Schedule declares any Scheduled Area in Jammu & Kashmir, so no part of this district is one and PESA does not apply. A different protection does apply here: State land and forest-rights law; no Presidential Order under the Fifth Schedule extends here.
