Joint bank account

I have Joint Saving Bank account with my friend ( No blood relation).

after 10 year I went bank to separate me from this joint account , but bank says Joint saving account can be open between family members only , So it is mistake from their side.

and Now they are not separating me from this account , they says if they separate me from this account their will be enquiry and bank official will be in trouble.

So they are not separating me from this account..Please let me know what legal action can I take about bank as they are not separating me from this account.

The assumption of the Bank officer is not correct. Just issue a Regd. notice, requesting the bank to stop all transactions in the account, and treat your name in the joint account as withdrawn, and inform that all further transactions permitted are at the risk and responsibility and they can not bind you from the date of receipt of this notice and that you have no objections for permitting the amount standing in the credit to the other joint account holder Shri...............

Your responsibility ends at this point. Whether the account remains or closed is not your concern.
