A resolution to this effect will have to be passed at the meeting of board of directors having the requisite quorum. You alone cannot pass a resolution to execute your wish.

You can transfer only your shares, subject to the conditions laid down in the AOA, but by doing so you cannot execute your wish.

In order to change the process to operate the bank account the company has to give the bank a new resolution duly passed in the board meeting authorizing you to sign the cheques, failing which the process cannot be changed.

This decision has to be made in the board of director's meeting and an an amendment has to be suitably made in the articles of association or memorandum of association of the company and a resolution copy has to be sent to the bank and the registrar of the companies.

Is it possible to give the signature authority for bank transaction to a particular director by getting the maximum vote from shareholders and thus make it an resolution?

You cannot make any decision on your own, if there are shareholders even for a single share of the company, the decision shall e taken as per procedure laid down.

I want to know if the directors having 51 percent share can make a resolution as one or two of them can oparate the bank accounts of a pvt Ltd.

You can make a formal resolution in the board of director's meeting in this regard.
