Dear Shagun Padiyar,
Your leave application was turned down, but by whom? Was it your reporting manager, HOD, or someone else? Was the application approved by your reporting manager but turned down by a higher authority? If so, you may discuss the matter with the reporting manager and persuade him to talk to the authorities concerned on your behalf.
Has the person who turned down your leave application given reasons for doing so? Is the customer visit or any inspection clashing with your leave?
Did you find out how the work continuity can be maintained despite your absence?
If taking leave is essential, then talk to the authorities concerned and explain to them why your presence is necessary to attend to the pressing matter. You need to use negotiation techniques. Be ready for some compromise. While discussing the matter keep your emotions under control, else it could complicate the matter.
Lastly, most companies insert a maxim in their leave policy: "leave is a privilege and not an entitlement". What about your company's leave policy? Have you checked it?
Thanks,

Dear Shagun Padiyar,
You need to talk with the leave sanctioning person. Explain to him why you applied for this leave in advance, how you bought tickets, hotel bookings, etc., and moreover, the event cannot be postponed. Tell him you don't mind going on leave without pay (LOP) because the priority cannot be compromised. You would not mind quitting the job if the management is considering any disciplinary action, and this could be a solution for both parties.

Leave is a privilege and not a right, at least to some extent. Therefore, you need to apply and get approval for it. Please check your company's standing orders which will have the process of application, approval, and rejection. If there is no process, then the normal commercial process is followed.
If the company does not grant your leave, then you should report to work. Depending on your company's structure and size, you can take the matter up with HR or HR Head and perhaps the reporting manager's manager. In most cases, the company will not deny leave just for the sake of it.
