The Supreme Court Monday adjourned hearing on a petition seeking transfer of a case pending before Madras High Court in which the execution of death sentence awarded to three assassins of late prime minister Rajiv Gandhi was stayed. It listed the plea for Oct 19.

An apex court bench of Justice G.S. Singhvi and Justice S.J. Mukhopadhaya directed the listing of the plea on Oct 19 when it would also hear a petition by Davindra Pal Singh Bhullar, seeking commuting of his death sentence.
