Is it possible to be a seedless when hybridized between seedy speices
(Musa Sikkimensis) and seedless species(Musa Rajapuri)?

It is very possible, that is how banana breeding is done. However, it is rather difficult and usually only the result of mass breeding programs, especially when triploids are involved (as is the case with this supposed 'Raja Puri' hybrid). I would be very careful about getting too confident in the names and origins of these supposed edible x wild hybrids, although they are possible, because they are from an unverified source (especially a nursery), you cannot be sure they are what they claim to be.
