A supreme court order must have laid some guidelines or set aside a previous notification. The government cannot bring out a notification against the order. It is contempt.

It depend on the subject of the notification issued by the central government and what supreme court states on the subject and whether it is really contradicting.

For this one can file a PIL only seeking action as per law.

If it is affecting the interest of the public then a PIL can be filed.

A  PIL is a petition that an individual or a non-government organisation or citizen groups, can file in the court seeking justice in an issue that has a larger public interest. It aims at giving common people an access to the judiciary to obtain legal redress for a greater cause.

For socially conscious citizens who would like to fix the system through a court of law, the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) is a powerful tool. Public Interest Litigation cases won or lost in the High Court or the Supreme Court of India often make news these days. Whether a PIL case wins or loses, it certainly makes an impact on the lives of people who are connected to the issue in one way or the other.

You can file a petition before the SC or HC challenging the new notification in light of previous one.

See as far as contempt is considered if notification is well within the powers conferred by law.then it's not contempt as govt. can make rules though in your case merits of same has to he seen.

1. It is to be seen whether the notification invalidates the specific order of supreme court passed against he particular department or not.

Unless and until the public authority is dieted to do certain thing in certain manner , a general notification issued by the government may not be interpreted as contempt of court.
