court only gave stay not stay on investigation.
Investigation can continue and police have to do their job.
you already asked that they not filed chargesheet after 6 months.
police have to take approval for delay from court.
the reason police can also give is you not cooperating in investigation.
police will claim that you were not cooperating with investigation and whenever they called you, you were evasive.
police can ask for arrest/bail cancellation if 41A is not complied.
for this your bail also can be in problem.
for returning mobiles/laptops etc, have to make application in court.
for streedhan, return it with acknowledgement.
Hope this clarifies,

Sir since the court has ordered stay only on the proceedings, the police can still continue to call you for investigation. You will have to go and for the data, you can ask your lawyer to talk to the police. Further, if the police does not submit the documents immediately, you can always approach the court to expediate the process.

1. The Police can call you for investigation whenever they find it necessary, and for any period of time.
2. Talk to your lawyer about the investigation data and he/she can ask the police about the same.
3. After the investigation, the police will have to submit the reports immediately. If this is not done, you can always approach the court.
4. This is not contempt of court as stay on proceedings does not bar the police from conducting investigation.
Please share the actual orders passed by the Court so that you can get exact legal advise.
