under such a situation

This phrase is correct and is commonly used when referring to a specific, singular situation.

This phrase is used when talking about a particular situation that is being specified or emphasized.

Alternatives:

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Under such a situation' is more commonly used when referring to a specific, singular situation, while 'under such situation' is used in a more general sense. The choice between the two depends on whether you are talking about a particular situation or situations in general.
