A bomb threat email on Friday, prompted authorities to evacuate the high court premises in the Indian capital Delhi, officials said.
The move also forced all benches to stop hearings and evacuate the court premises.

According to police, a bomb detection and disposal team immediately reached the spot to conduct searches.
Police teams and fire services personnel were also present at the spot.
“The area has been cordoned off completely, and the searches are underway.
However, so far nothing suspicious has been found,” a police officer said.
