The rule is grounded in the court's inherent power to protect its control, not in any statutory bar or lack of jurisdiction in the trial court. Prior leave is not a condition precedent, and leave granted during the pendency of the suit cures the defect before the proceeding ends. Leave should ordinarily be granted unless the proposed action is frivolous, vexatious, or otherwise improper. en-us Thu, 29 Sep 1977 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 12 Mar 2018 11:34:47 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=199756 A receiver appointed by a court is an officer of the court, and property in the receiver's hands remains in custodia legis; proceedings against the receiver or such property without the appointing court's leave interfere with the court's possession and may be invalidated as an affront to its authority.
