The Telangana government submitted before a division bench comprising Chief Justice Kalyan Jyoti Sengupta and Justice P.V. Sanjay Kumar that the TB and Chest Hospital at Erragadda in Hyderabad was not notified as a heritage building.

The bench was dealing with a petition by B. Maddileti and K. Venkataiah of Mahbubnagar challenging a GO issued by the government on January 27, 2015 to shift the hospital to Vikarabad in Ranga Reddy district to construct a new Secretariat on the premises.

Asking the archaeological department to respond to the submissions of the state government, the bench adjourned the hearing for a week.
