Emergency teams, including the fire department, bomb disposal squads and sniffer dog teams, were deployed at the locations.
Security agencies and local police teams are carrying out searches and verifying the threats.
No suspicious object or evidence indicating the presence of explosives has been found so far, officials said.
The Delhi High Court received the threat via email, prompting a security response inside the court premises. The Registrar General is in touch with the Delhi Police over the matter.
According to court sources, the email contained the message: “Blast Delhi High Court @ 2:11 pm.”
A bomb disposal squad and sniffer dogs were sent to the premises.
Despite the threat, court proceedings are continuing normally, with the Joint Secretary of the Delhi High Court Bar Association saying the situation is under control.
The threat currently appears to be a hoax, officials said.
