I have applied leave vs I had applied leave

These are both acceptable phrases, but they are not used in the same context. 'I have applied leave' is used to indicate a recent action or a current state, while 'I had applied leave' is used to talk about a past action that occurred before another past event. The choice between the two depends on the timeline of events being described.
