The deal of member Retiring from partnership firm ,has only effect of member not acting on behalf of partenrship and Firm not acting on behalf the member.
As long as your Principal Who has Retired doesnt have a problem with you working in the Firm and second very important he holds and has not surrendered the COP justifies you Remaining the Article Trainee.
Lastly in addition to above he has got no problem in Signing your Articleship Completion Forms when your Completion is due.
PS: A hypothetical scenario Would be that ICAI officials checking into your Firm ,and asking a justification from your principal on finding you in some other firm as a trainee.The Risk of Which is takeable.
