Suppose you have a pot plant and one if its leaves dries out. Is it good idea to place the leaf in the pot?

Why?
The dead leaves could have fungus or mould spores and will infect the rest of the plant if left in place - could be the reason that leaf died.
The dead leaves can harbour insects or eggs that will infect the rest of your plant - again it may be the reason that leaf died in the first place.
So although leaves do generally make good compost you have to ask yourself why that leaf died when all the others were healthy - its probably best to be cautious and discard the leaves into the bin.
