Dear Jeet,
No employer has the prerogative to outrightly reject the resignation of an employee unless any disciplinary proceedings against him is in progress or pending final orders. Moreover, your narrative indicates either poor drafting or the so called supervisor's alleged rejection of your resignation is beyond his authority as he is expected only to submit the resignation letter with his own remarks to the employer/CEO of the organization.

Dear member,
How many employees work in your company? If not supervisor then to whom else you could have submitted your letter of resignation? This supervisor works to whom? Did you approach the superior authority of the supervisor? If yes then what did he/she say?
I recommend you hand over the photocopy of the letter from the supervisor along with the original copy of the resignation letter to the HR Department. Tell them that routing all the applications through the supervisor is just an office protocol. However, the supervisor does not have any authority to turn down the application.
If the HR professional also does not accept the letter of resignation then tell them that you will be forced to send the letter by Speed Post. The date of the resignation will remain valid.
Thanks,
