Hyderabad, April 1 -- Even as students are up in arms against the state government's decision to take control and auction 400 acres of land that belonged to University of Hyderabad (UoH), a small but crucial technicality might in fact allow the Telangana government to have its way and take over the land parcel. The fact of the matter is that the land UoH functions on also to this day belongs to the state. That has been the case since it was founded, as the land was never formally transferred to the varsity.
