Hi@akhtar,

To know leader information you can use the below command.

$ ./bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --describe --topic Mytopic

Topic:Mytopic   PartitionCount:3        ReplicationFactor:3     Configs:
        Topic: Mytopic  Partition: 0    Leader: 1       Replicas: 1,2,0 Isr: 1,2,0
        Topic: Mytopic  Partition: 1    Leader: 2       Replicas: 2,0,1 Isr: 2,0,1
        Topic: Mytopic  Partition: 2    Leader: 0       Replicas: 0,1,2 Isr: 0,1,2

Hope this helps!
