I am not aware of a human rights basis for ILR. Do you mean ILR (Long Residence)?

Some of the dates seem to not make sense.

Presumably you lodged the AR on 13th September 2018.

Is that 10th October 2018?

If you file a leave application while an AR is in progress, the AR is considered withdrawn. So your Section 3C leave ended when you filed your T2 application.

So from that point in time, you did not have leave.

If your immediately successive application was successful, then that gap would have been disregarded when you applied for ILR(LR).

However, your subsequent application (T2) was not successfully decided when you varied it. Therefore you have not had leave since October 2018. Therefore it is quite likely that the refusal was correct.

If you file a leave application while an AR is in progress, the AR is considered withdrawn. So your Section 3C leave ended when you filed your T2 application.

I filed another application when AR was maintained and been given 14 days for fresh application and I did so within 6 days

So from that point in time, you did not have leave.

The Section 3C leave ends when your AR was refused. You are given a grace period of 14 days to file an application and a Further Leave to Remain (FLR) application is treated as if it is in-time.

However, for an ILR application, especially one based on Long residence, you need to have pre-existing leave at the time your application was made. And a grace period does not extend leave.

And had the Tier 2 application been successful, you could have then applied for ILR, as you would then have had pre-existing leave and the gap between the AR refusal and the subsequent application was less than 14 days.

The mistake you made was varying the subsequent application before it was decided.

The only reason that I varied application becuase my sponsor liecence was revoked and I had no other option but to vary application
