Null pointer exception during instruction 'monitor-enter v1'

I get this error now everytime
inside public void onResponse(Call call, Response response){:

mContext.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {

    LocalDBUtility local=LocalDBUtility.getInstance();
//code
}

inside my singleton class LocalDBUtility

static LocalDBUtility localDBUtility;
    private LocalDBUtility(){
    }

    public static LocalDBUtility getInstance(){

        if(localDBUtility==null){
            synchronized (localDBUtility) {
                localDBUtility = new LocalDBUtility();
            }
            return localDBUtility;

        }else {
            return localDBUtility;
        }
    }

I want to know what caused NPE?
