Most probably not. There is a slightchance that you are allowed to leave the firm:
a)if u r a dummy article b) ur CA is very ethically minded abt following ICAI rules sincerely c) u r working under ur dad/mom/relative's firm.
Students in the above category are not even 10pc of the total article students. the ICAI has made it a rule that ARTICLESHIP HRS SHOULD BEGIN B4 11AM AND NOT EXCEED 5PM. But which CA cares about the ICAI rules/ Rules are meant to be broken: Members from ICAI chapters or city offices do so to their articles: the remaining CAs are bound to be even inconsiderate. I can bet not even 5pc of the practising CAs have begun adhering to this rule of articleship hours.
ICAI is impotent in enforcing this coz its top members are not interested in it. There are few practioners and lots of eagerly expecting articles. After passing CPT; it is really tough to secure an articleship.
So, the students can't even ask their CA ABT THE RECENT CHANGES IN icai WORKING HOURS. If they try to; then they are in deep trouble. CAs are influential people. The poor student may not lose many days in getting his transfer in article: and thrugh his previous MIT's ifluence; he may lose even more time in getting another worthy MIT.
Now, u may say "why don't students' complain"? I will say " the whole thing is that bhaiyya, sabse bada rupaiya"? Students don't want to jeopardise their chance of being financially sound after being CA(they have to have to face 3.5 yrs of rigorous aticlesip) and CAs are better left unchalleneged. My CA has not cared a da** abt this new rule. Plz tell me what is happening in ur case.

I am an article but what i think is that the above said facts makes a person a CA.
Struggle is in every field not only CA.
Its just that we have to decide whats best for us. I am facing the same but i never complain thats life, sometimes you just have to do what you have to do.
I will give you an example,why you owners of horses tie that object on the head of their horse , reason being that they should look left or right just keep going .
We should be like that and not complain about stuff.
This is my point of view and you have a diff point to that which i respect.
