Hi Shivam and welcome to the community!
With the Premium plan you can enforce a merge check for the minimum number of approvals (or minimum number of approvals from default reviewers) needed to merge, along with the option Prevent a merge with unresolved merge checks. These options are available in the branch restrictions:
- Open a repository on Bitbucket Cloud website
- Select Repository settings from the left sidebar
- Select Branch restrictions from the new left sidebar
- Select Add a branch restriction
- On the new window where you set up a branch restriction for a certain branch, select the tab Merge settings.
In there, you will see the available merge checks and also the option Prevent a merge with unresolved merge checks (this will be disabled if your workspace is not on the Premium plan yet).
Even if the author approves their own PR, this won't count towards the merge check of minimum approvals. The feature doesn't prevent an author from self-merging (there is no such feature available now), but it will block merging unless a certain number of people approve the PR.
We have a feature request for what you are asking:
