Reconversion of CA Partnership into CA Proprietory Firm

I started my CA Practice in the year 2002 as a proprietor of a CA Firm and in the year 2013 I converted my Proprietory Firm into Partnership by adding my cousin brother as partner, as due to ours is Joint family we dont have any problems till April, 2018. From April, 2018 our HUF is divided and living separately. Now I dont want to continue this partnership with my cousin brother and want to convert this partnership into Proprietory Firm. Meanwhile i have intimated my changes in the status of the Firm to ICAI Regional office but my details are not yet changed in the Institute records. I tried to update in the SSP Portal but of no use at all. In SSP Portal a head office incharge partner only can move all the applications and Head Office incharge is my another partner, he is not allowing me to change the details in firm details and creating problems since from 1 year. I have also communicated on email to the concerned officials in the SIRC as well as ICAI-New Delhi and they just intimated to the other partner, SSP Portal procedure to update the changes. But still that other partner has not done nothing and just ignore their directives. Can anybody guide me to how to go along with effectively to reconvert CA Partnership Firm to CA Proprietory Firm without loosing my old firm name. Thanks in advance for all your answers. My communication on mail is happened on the below email ids: h.vanitha@icai.in, padmabalaji@icai.in, mss@icai.in, leena.khanvilkar@icai.in, josphine@icai.in, Secretary@icai.in, Secretary@icai.in, president@icai.in and vicepresident@icai.in
