High court has been given stay for the crime number but I may not agree with you that your arrest has been stayed till the submission of charge sheet. It may be stayed till the submission of charge sheet or until the credible evidence has been collected against you.

Police can take help of public prosecutor during investigation. You have already obtained interim order from high court. Now as you say additional sections are added in the police report. Now you have two options. 1. Go to high court and challenge police report as well as seek bail. 2. Appear before the magistrate and obtain bail on additional sections. But 2nd options mean that you have appeared and will face trial. Better to consult a lawyer along with complete papers and seek professional opinion.

Police can increase or decrease sections in the case as per their investigation arrest stay is till the submission of charge sheet by the police , you have to move to high court till obtain bail in the said case.
