Sir,
The name of a joint holder in a Banking account can not be unilaterally removed.
The alternative is to close the account and open a fresh account with a single holder.
Good Luck,
Kishor Mehta

If it is a family account, you may consult the Bank Manager. Normally joint account needed not be operated by both as it is enough operated by one. If it is a partnership firm or company account to be operated by both the signatories based on joint declaration or partnership deed/resolution submitted to Bank, that need to be amended and submitted to bank.
