It means a higher court found the original judgment flawed in some way, either there was a violation of due process, or the higher court finds the decision not supported by the evidence. The judgment is then dropped as if it never happened.

Added clarification: "Moot" refers to an issue that remains undecided, and open to argument, or debate. In a legal sense it refers to a legal question which has not been determined by the decision of any court.

What does the department determination is reversed mean?

I can't be sure without more information, but best guess is that Whatever Government Agency or Department you are dealing with made some sort of decision. Somehow that first decision came under review, either because you appealed it or contested it in some way, or because of some internal policy. Regardless after a review of the initial decision was reviewed, it was reversed. That means it was overturned; ie that the opposite of that decision is now in effect. If they first said "yes" reversed means "no". If they first said "no," reversed means "yes".

What is a moot case?

"Moot" refers to an issue that remains unsettled, open to argument or is debatable. It especially refers to a legal question which has not yet been determined by any decision of any court.In the mid-19th century people also began to use the term moot to mean "of no significance or relevance." Thus, a moot point, however debatable, is one that has no practical value.ALSO - Law schools hold "Moot Court" which are used to train student attorneys in courtroom procedures and activities. The "moot" cases tried there are strictly school exercises and of no significance to any real-world event.
