Further on we passed the High Court of Telangana which was constructed by the 7th Nizam Osman Ali Khan (1515-1919).

It was then the High Court for the state of Hyderabad Deccan. the High Court was originally in Pathergatti and in 1909 moved to various places before this building was constructed in 1919. Shankar Lal of Jaipur gave the plan, design was by Mehar Ali Fazil and Chief Engineer was Nawab Khan Bahadur Mirza Akbar Baig. Construction started in 1915 and ended in 1919.
Interestingly, while digging to construct this building they came across the ruins of two Qutb Shahi structures - Hina Mahal and Nadi Mahal.
