Why accumulated depreciation is recorded in the asset of balance sheet instead of recording in the liabilities side?
it is a contra asset (negative) hence that's why it is shown as decreasing amt on the balance sheet. In other words, the contra account of any given account is of the same type. So, the contra of a fixed-asset account is also a fixed asset account but with the opposite normal balance. That's why depreciation is in the asset section.
