Suppose you have mulitple record for same date or leave_type but different id and you want the maximum no of id for same date or leave_type as i also sucked with this issue, so Yes you can do it with the following query:

select * from tabel_name where employee_no='123' and id=(
   select max(id) from table_name where employee_no='123' and leave_type='5'
