Suppose I am standing on the Earth surface and observing a rockhet of very high speed then i will see the length the rocket contracted and abserver on the rocket will also see my length contracted(I am not sure about it)in the direction of motion.
Is the same case takes place with time dialation?
If Not then why?

Yes.
