eth.getCode is returning "0x" at contract's address

Question

On deploying a contract using Remix on private net and using eth.getCode(<contract's address>), I am getting "0x" as output. A simple contract like below is giving me the same result as well:

pragma solidity ^0.4.0;

contract SimpleStorage {
    uint storedData;

    function set(uint x) {
        storedData = x;
    }

    function get() constant returns (uint) {
        return storedData;
    }
}

I tried increasing gas limit using --targetgaslimit while initiating geth as well, but it didn't help either. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

Adding output of Tx Receipt:

I think your forgot to add an 0x to your contract address when calling that function.

https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/JavaScript-API web3.eth.getCode

web3.eth.getCode(addressHexString [, defaultBlock] [, callback]) Get the code at a specific address.

Parameters

String - The address to get the code from. Number|String - (optional) If you pass this parameter it will not use the default block set with web3.eth.defaultBlock. Function - (optional) If you pass a callback the HTTP request is made asynchronous. See this note for details. Returns

String - The data at given address addressHexString.
