Hyderabad: The Centre on Tuesday informed the Hyderabad High Court that it has ‘in principle’ agreed to transfer Bison Polo Ground and Gymkhana Ground to the TS government, but various procedures and formalities have to be fulfilled before the actual transfer.

A division bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Ramesh Ranganathan and Justice M. Ganga Rao was dealing with two separate PILs by former DGP M.V. Bhaskar Rao, cricketer Vivek Jaysimha, Chartered Accountant T. Bharadwaj, and retired squadron leader Anil Bhalla and Mr Karunakar challenging the decision of the Centre to give up the land for construction of a new state Secretariat.

Counsel for the Centre submitted that a counter affidavit was already filed in this regard. The bench adjourned the case for two weeks.
