It is now part of the High Court’s premises and was used by the fire department for the High Court and other ancillary purposes.

The Victoria Memorial Hospital is also a listed site (II-B) according to the HMDA (Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority). It cannot be demolished as it enjoys protection according to the High Court’s own ruling on the Irrum Manzil issue.
Prior to this, a part of the land beside the Govt City College was to be made into a parking lot. However, college authorities did not like the idea and started building classrooms in the space.
