It appears that the high court order was passed in the year 2014, which is about 6 years back. Likewise, the order of dismissal passed by the department also appears to have been passed about 4 years back in 2016.
If you want to now challenge the aforesaid high court order in the Supreme Court, that would mean a delay of about 6 years, since the limitation period to file a Special Leave Petition (SLP) is 3 months. This is a gross delay and it will be very difficult to explain the delay, unless you have some really genuine reasons to explain the delay. Therefore, the chances are that the SLP may be rejected by the Supreme Court on the grounds of delay alone.
Moreover, usually, the chances of success in SLPs in the Supreme Court are comparatively less, since a majority of the SLPs are dismissed on the first date at the notice stage itself.
So, the chances of success in your case appear to be very less. Yet, if you want, you can try.
