Yes, thats right. I have considered that.
So, we need GHASH(H, {}, {}).
As per the spec, 
GHASH(H, A, C) = X(m + n + 1). 
					m = n = 0 in our case.

X0 = 0
X1 = (X(m  + n) ^ (len(A) || len(C)) . H
X1 = 0 . H		(GF(128) Multiplication)
X1 = 0	

The same thing is given in the Test case 1 of the spec. GHASH(H, {}, {}) = 0

Thanks and regards,
