Yes, the body can possess velocity at the same time both in horizontal and vertical position.
For example: a projectile.
It has been observed that when a body moves simultaneously in both horizontal and vertical direction, the horizontal velocity remains unchanged throughout but the vertical velocity changes linearly.
This is because the acceleration of the object is constant due to gravity.

Hey mate!
Here's your answer!!
Yes, a body posses velocity at the same time in horizontal and vertical direction.
Let us consider a body A which is allowed to fall freely and another body B projected horizontally with a velocity u from the same height and at the same time. The body B possesses simultaneously:
Uniform horizontal velocity u
A non-uniform vertical velocity v.
As the body B travels down its vertical velocity (v) increases due to acceleration due to gravity. But the horizontal velocity u remains constant. Hence the body A which is freely falling and the body B projected horizontally from the same height at the same time will strike the ground simultaneously at different points. But the two bodies at any instant will be at the same vertical height above the ground. Thus the motion of a freely falling body is same as that of a horizontally thrown projectile.
