When unsupervised learning is more beneficial in comparison with supervised learning even the labeling are existed?
If there is no labeling the unsupervised learning is better than supervised learning but in some cases even the labeling targets are available, the supervised learning approach works betters? What about conditions of these cases? Can we say that if there is no clear dependency between variables unsupervised learning works better?

I would say that there are two main cases:

The problem here is what "better" means, i.e. how the task is evaluated. If the task is evaluated against the pre-existing labels, in theory the unsupervised version cannot work better than the supervised one since the supervised one has access to more information. It's possible that a particularly unsuitable supervised method would perform worse than a well chosen unsupervised one, but that's not a fair comparison and it's very unlikely in practice.
In general the two are not comparable because the tasks are fundamentally different: in a supervised setting one wants to find patterns related to some information which is known beforehand (the labels), whereas in an unsupervised setting one wants to discover unknown patterns.
Can we say that if there is no clear dependency between variables unsupervised learning works better?
I don't think so because:
