You can do the following with aggregation,by unwinding the "chats" array field and sorting the documents which do not have the "deleted_by_userid1" field,

db.collection.aggregate([
{"$unwind":"$chats"},
{"$match":{"chats.deleted_by_userid1":{$exists:false}}},
{"$sort":{"chats.time":-1}},
{"$limit":1}
])
