Arguing on behalf of the appellants Ld. Sr. Counsel, Shri A.N. Haksar, submitted that the said issue is a covered one by series of decisions of this Tribunal. In the case of Laxmi Chemicals v. Collector of Central Excise, Jaipur (Final Order No. 161\/91-C, dated 25-1-1991) wherein it was held that product hydrated lime is not an excisable commodity.   The same view was reiterated in the case of Himalaya Chemicals v. Collector of Central Excise, Chandigarh (Final Order No. 444 &amp; 445\/91-C, dated 16-5-1991). In view of this he did not argue on the other grounds taken up in the Memorandum of Appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.    In reply Shri Arora, Ld.
