Yes, you can **claim transfer of articleship** in this situation, but it depends on how the change affects the firm.
Here’s how it works:
* If the **Principal (your senior partner)** who signed your articleship **ceases to practice** or **withdraws** from the firm, it counts as one of the valid grounds for transfer as per ICAI Regulation 57(1)(a) — *Ceasing of practice by the Principal*.
* Since your principal is leaving the partnership, effectively **the principal you are apprenticed under is ceasing practice** in that firm. That allows you to request a transfer of your articleship.
* You will need to submit a **formal request** along with a **consent letter or recommendation** from the firm and proof of the principal’s withdrawal.
**In summary:**
Yes, this situation generally qualifies you for transfer, provided you follow the proper procedure and submit supporting documents to ICAI.
