bank related

(Querist) 13 January 2016 This query is : Resolved 
My friend is a bank officer during one day village pradhan came with account holders for narega payment after payment he asked my friend that please give him few transfer slips so that remaining acc holders can sign the transfer slip at home and transfer money in a single account which can be withdrawn through atm. He gave him transfer slip and asked pradhan to verify and witnesses there signatures and then present to bank. Pradhan did the same and produced the transfer slips to my friend.
He transferred the amount to a single account. But 5 out of 20 transfer slips were fake or fraudulent and amount transferred was recovered back from that single account by calling upon that account holder to respective accounts after the complaints were received. One of the account holder filed a case on pradhan and that particular account holder for rs 3000 fraudulently transferred.
my question is that is my friend could be guilty in eyes of law and if yes what could be his punishment
