This usually happens in many courts. Many courts have very lengthy cause lists and the number of cases listed every day is generally large. Due to this, many a time, it is not possible for the court to hear all the matters which have listed for the day. In such a situation, further date is given.
This problem is not specific only in your case, but in many of the cases. You have to be patient since the courts have huge pendencies and there are several vacancies in the posts of judges. Strength of judiciary is not sufficient to deal with the number of cases pending.
