During an appeal against a tariff scheme, the parties disagree on what should be paid meanwhile. Under the Copyright Act, 1957, what may the Commercial Court do?

The Commercial Court may, after hearing the parties, fix an interim tariff and direct the aggrieved parties to pay according to it until the appeal is disposed of. It cannot simply excuse payment, since fee collection is not to be stayed.
