Delayed exams - extension of articleship or not?

I appeared for my CA Finals in May 2014. I had originally taken 5-month leave from Dec beginning, assuming that exams would start from May beginning. However, the exams were delayed due to elections (started on 25th May). The same was announced in mid-January. As a result, my leave period got extended by 25days. Do i have to serve these 25 days as extension period? As such, i have not taken any extra leaves. If there is any ICAI notification regarding the same, kindly advise.
