Shaik,

Whether or not your MapServer instance supports MrSID format for
input depends on whether your GDAL is built with MrSID support. 
Try:

  gdalinfo --formats

to list all GDAL support formats in your build.  Likely you do not have
MrSID support enabled.  It can be a bit involved to build in.

Best regards,
