We could have deflation in assets like Re and stocks and CPI inflation.

Actually, no, because you would not say "there is inflation in sugar but deflation in flour". You would just say "sugar prices are up and flour prices are down".

Inflation and deflation are macroeconomic concepts that are not most aptly used to describe the price fluctuations of a single commodity/good/service. CPI and PPI, which track a variety of different items, are their most common indicator.

That is, we are talking about "inflation" or "deflation", we are talking about the economy as a whole, and simultaneous "inflation" and "deflation" is just not possible.
