24 June 2016 Respected Experts,

I wish to get myself clarified with the below mentioned queries:

I am not willing to continue under the current principal for the extended period of articled training due to professional reasons and working in such a work environment is affecting my mental stability. My current principal is very adamant and is not willing to grant me permission to serve the extension under some other eligible member. After obtaining signature from the current principal for normal terms of completion of article training have I got an option to leave the current firm without the permission of the principal under whom I have been registered for normal terms of articleship and serve my extension under some other practicing CA.

Also I wish to inform that the current principal has taken a declaration in writing from my end before signing the CA Final examination form that I will be serving the extension under him only.Is this kind of written declaration valid?

Can any action be taken against me by the current principal if I leave the firm without obtaining his approval for serving extension under someone else.

Awaiting response at the earliest.
