11 September 2014 My mother is suffering from cancer and treatment for the same is going on. I am in 2nd year of my articleship and i am unable to continue my articleship because i have to go out of state for my mother's treatment. My principal has given consent to terminate the articleship and re-register later on. Can i terminate articleship and re register in another firm for balance period of articleship within the hometown after my mother's treatment or i have re-register out of my hometown?
