1st of all u people dont go brig bragging. We all know dummy has its advantages and disadvantages too. And for the question of sitting idle in office doesnt arise becauseall CAs has some work or the other otherwise they wudnt be practising.That is a different thing.
As for the question of giving dummy training,I can say after completing my 2.5 years that my CA also gave dummies,but he didnt gave it for no reason. We had 3 articles as dummy, one of them was the daughter of a Director of a client company,so to maintain cordial relations he had to give in to that directors demand. 2nd one was a married man who had to earn for his wife and family so he was working to feed himself and his family,so he was let off by my CA after a year or so of articleship.And 3rd one was the son of his former partner who was let off after 1.5 years to work in another firm to gain exposure in different area,i.e. indirect taxes. So u should understand practicalities of life rather than go strictly by the book. If there is dummy then there may be reason,for that.
