Kolkata: The Supreme Court on Tuesday deferred its hearing in the suo-motu case involving the rape and murder of a female trainee doctor at state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, rescheduling it for November.

The convict Sanjay Roy was sentenced to "life term imprisonment till death" in connection with the case on January 20. The brutal incident triggered nationwide outrage and prolonged protests in West Bengal.

The gruesome rape and murder of a female postgraduate trainee doctor took place on August 9 last year at state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

According to the PTI report, a bench comprising Justices M M Sundresh and Satish Chandra Sharma adjourned the matter as it was busy in a part-heard matter.
