Will the site page be correctly indexed if a redirect is set with JavaScript disabled?

Greetings
If the site page has an entry that works when JS is disabled:

<noscript><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=other_page.html" /></noscript>

Will such a page be correctly indexed by the search engine and will the PS robot itself be redirected to the other_page.html page?

Knowing that search engines like to index absolutely everything (especially Google), it is likely that both versions of the page with JavaScript enabled and disabled will be indexed, and this, in turn, can be fraught with a double, moreover, a clean one.

The question is interesting, but in my opinion, in 2016 it is no longer relevant. Unless the site visitors are some very special people.
The question is not relevant, because the probability that someone will visit the site with disabled JS tends to zero. And if there are such people (who disable JS themselves), then they belong to a very specific audience and "losing" them as visitors, the site owner will not lose anything. Unless these specific people are the target audience of the site.
As a solution to the problem (more practical, not theoretical), I would advise you to decide on the target audience of the site. And then decide whether you need this redirect at all or not. And is it worth the time.
