In the case between Shankar Das v. Behari Lal and Ors., the Hon'ble High Court, Lahore came to the conclusion. A Receiver is an officer of the Court, and as long as the order appointing the receiver remains unreversed, and as long as the suit remains lis pendens, his functions continue until he is discharged by order of the Court. Hence the mere passing of a preliminary decree in a partition suit, declaring the shares of the parties in the estate, and directing partition of the property other than the agricultural land does not put an end to the appointment of the receiver and despite the provisions of Order 20 Rule 18, it is legal for the Court to pass an order for ad interim injunction restraining interference with the receiver's possession of agricultural land."
