Meta Robots index & noindex Both Implemented on Website

[Exa]

I don't want few of the pages of website to get indexed by Google, thus I have implemented meta robots noindex code on those specific pages.

Due to some complications I am not able to remove meta robots index from header of every page

Now, on specific pages I have both codes 'index & noindex' implemented.

Question is: Will Google crawl/index pages which have noindex code along with index code?

Thanks!

No they will not be indexed. Check: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.be/2007/03/using-robots-meta-tag.html:

If content values conflict, we will use the most restrictive. So, if the page has these meta tags:

We will obey the NOINDEX value.

Thanks Dirk, I believe my question is answered.

However, the concern as of now is these pages are being fetched when we try Fetch as Google Bot in Google Webmaster Tools.

Noindex tag were implemented on specific pages on 5th Oct & and last date of cache is 3rd Oct 2015.
I wonder when these pages will be removed from Google Index.

Difficult to tell how long it will take before it's completely removed (Google is never very clear on how long it takes). If it's urgent you could use the url removal tool :https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en
