An internal communication from the Bombay Bar Association and the Advocates’ Association of Western India indicated that hearings in the High Court would recommence at 3 PM, pending the completion of safety checks by the police.
It remains uncertain whether court proceedings have resumed as planned.
Judges were instructed to leave their benches during the security evaluations, as per a directive from the chief justice.
A first information report will be lodged against unidentified individuals responsible for the threats, according to a police spokesperson.
In a similar incident in September, bomb threats were sent to the High Court, which were later determined to be hoaxes.
