Answer -

No, it is not possible for assets or cash to increase and liabilities to decrease in the same situation in an accounting entry. This is because of Accounting Principle of Duality which implies that debit is always equal to Credit.

Assets are generally written on the debit side whereas liabilities on the credit side so if that happens then the debit side will increase however the credit side will decrease, so this is in violation with the Accounting Principle of Duality. So, it is not possible for cash to increase and Liabilities to decrease in the same situation.
