The answers to your queries are here in below :-
1) If the High Court stays the order of the lower court then you dont have to pay anything.
2) You have already challenged the lower courts order before the High Court and The High Court can only stay the proceedings or the interim order till then you are suppose to comply the lower courts order.
a lawyer has to go through the stay order granted by the high court and also the interim order granted by the trial court for giving a fair opinion. in case the proceedings of the lower court are stayed, it is presumed that the interim order also stands stayed and till the high court does not decide it, it may not be acted upon.
