Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether shareholders can refuse to sell their shares during a company's buyback. It clarifies that if the company's Articles of Association require a special resolution and shareholder approval, a buyback cannot proceed without it. However, if no such restrictions exist, shareholders are generally free to refuse participation, especially if they believe the company is in a strong financial position.

If there is restriction in Articles of association in case of private Limited Company by puting the rider that special resolution needs to be passed in the general meeting of shareholders as prior approval of shareholder is required before buy back of shares, Company may buy back only after the prior approval of shareholders.

If there is no restriction then a shareholder can refuse or not?
One more source, company can buy back through stock exchanges also
