Excisability of bagasse: pre-2008 cases to be decided per apex ruling; post-2008 amendment remains unaffected. Cases concerning the excisability of bagasse for periods prior to the 2008 budgetary changes are to be removed from the call book and decided in accordance with the law as laid down by the apex authority following dismissal of the department's appeal; the apex decision does not affect the post 2008 position where the definition of excisable goods was amended, and earlier clarifications regarding the post 2008 period remain operative.
