The Gauhati High Court in Assam reportedly received a bomb threat on Tuesday morning, the police said, according to the PTI.
The high court received an email threatening that there would be a blast in the building, they said.
"We have immediately rushed a team to the high court after getting the threat message. Our experts are checking every corner of the premises, and nothing has been found so far. We believe it is a hoax," a senior police officer told PTI.
He said the details will be known only after the search operation is over.

The official said the threat has not hampered the functioning of the court, and judges are hearing cases as scheduled.
Disgruntled security guard booked for death threat against actor Tiger Shroff
Meanwhile, in an another incident in Mumbai, the Khar police have booked a disgruntled employee of a private security agency for raising a false alarm about a supposed murder plot targeting Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff.
The accused has been identified as 35-year-old Manish Kumar Sujinder Singh, a native of Punjab, according to police.
A senior Mumbai Police officer told mid-day that Singh called the Mumbai Police Control Room on Monday and alleged that two senior employees of a private security agency were plotting to kill Tiger Shroff for a contract of Rs 2 lakh.
"During the call, Singh went as far as claiming that he had personally supplied the weapons and handed over Rs 2 lakh to the alleged contract killers," the officer said.
Following the alarming call, security agencies were immediately put on high alert. However, a swift and thorough investigation revealed that the information provided by Singh was completely false and baseless.
"As a result, an FIR has been registered against Singh under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including Sections 212, 217, and 353(2)," the officer added.
Asked about the motive behind the false claim, the officer said, "Our investigation indicates that Singh fabricated the story to settle personal scores with the two senior security professionals he had named in the call."
No arrest has been made yet, but officials confirmed that Singh will soon be served a legal notice.
