“Dear members, I have just received a call from the English office informing us that another email threatening to bomb the judicial building has been received. The police are again checking the premises. As 26 January is a very sensitive day, we cannot take any risk. Therefore, please avoid going to the chambers until further intimation and allow the police to carry out their checks,” read a message circulated by one of the court authorities.
