The division bench headed by Justice V M Kanade ordered that Baig may be shifted to Pune jail until his appeal against conviction comes up for hearing before the High Court.
The appeal, as well as state's plea for confirmation of death sentence, is expected to come up for hearing on January 5 when the HC would fix a date for final hearing.
