31 October 2012 I have completed 2 years of my articleship .A few days back, I had some words with an employee(CA) in my principal's office. The matter went a lil serious and my principal decided to terminate my articleship. He said me to either take transfer within a week or he shall terminate my articleship.

I want to know if i can take transfer for such reason, to another firm in the same city. What is the differnce b/w transfer and termination ? What if he terminates me ? Will i have o serve another 3 years of articleship ? A fresh start with frankinn ? Or is it just a halt in the 3 years term ?

Please reply ASAP. I am in a very bad situation
