My Friend wants to terminate his articleship due to some personal reason for 1 year for which he cannot provide any proofs to institution, but his auditor permitted him to terminate his articleship. Now Is termination possible without any proofs? and his articleship period is gonna end by april 2011, if he does not go to office and does not give any termination letter also what are the consequences he will have to face???

Reason is required for termination and it has to be reported to institute. But If he doesnt come to office and take leave .the auditor can report to the institute then his whole articleship may be in problem
