A magistrate`s court at Bhiwandi in Maharashtra`s Thane district on Saturday adjourned the hearing in a defamation case against Rahul Gandhi till May 2, the Congress leader`s lawyer said.

Gandhi`s counsel advocate Narayan Iyer said they submitted an application seeking adjournment on the grounds that a writ petition filed by the Wayanad MP in the Bombay High Court regarding the matter was still pending.
