Palisade tissue ,as a rule,is found in the leaves of dicotyledonous plants.
The leaves of monocotyledonous plants , by and large, do not show Palisade.

Cells of the palisade parenchyma contain three to five times as many chloroplasts as those of the spongy parenchyma. This cause one side, upper side of the leaf is darker than the dorsal side having no palisade parenchym.

sometimes yes, on both sides of the leaf. but it is not at all that clearly and strongly visible in monocots with vertically growing leaves as in dicots that have their leaves positioned horizontally
so the answer is yes it is possible, sort of, on both sides but less of it and not so much distinct pattern of the palisades. The palisades are usually much shorter and some plants have "just cells" like somebody else said here before.

i am going crazy over this question because we did this last year in bio.
this site has some crossections:
http://scidiv.bcc.ctc.edu/rkr/Biology101/labs/pdfs/LeafStructure.pdf
and then wikipedia is always good for other crap:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaf
the dicot should both have palisade mesophyll layer but the monocot seems to only have cells.
anyway, hope that theres an answer in there somewhere.
:)

I just got out of Biology class and what you are asking sounds like French. Sorry.
