Ours is a closely held company with hardly 100 sharholders . Now some of the shareholders who are having small number of shares approched by group of sharholders to buy their share holdings . As the management do not know the intention ,we want to refuse transfer of shares . Is it correct ? or what is the remeady available to the management against such transfer ?

You say, there are 100 shareholders. So I presume it's a public limited company. Public limited company cannot have put restriction on transfer of shares.
