Issues Involved:
1. Deletion of additions related to funds received from undisclosed sources.
2. Penalty proceedings under Section 271(1)(c).
3. Addition to income based on credits in the debtor's bank accounts.
4. Verification of additions as profits arising from security transactions.

Detailed Analysis:

1. Deletion of Additions Related to Funds Received from Undisclosed Sources:
The Revenue's appeals for A.Ys. 1989-90 and 1990-91 revolved around the deletion of additions amounting to Rs.16,75,86,084/- and Rs.27,08,000/- respectively, which were attributed to funds received from undisclosed sources. The assessee's transactions through the 'Bank of Karad Government securities sale and purchase a/c' were transferred to the loan account of Shri A. D. Narottam. The Tribunal had previously directed the Assessing Officer (A.O.) to verify the details of these transactions and their relation to the liability confirmed by the Special Court. However, the A.O. and the CIT(A) had differing interpretations of the Tribunal's directions. The Tribunal clarified that the primary onus was on the assessee to establish the identity of the impugned credits and their verification by the A.O. The matter was restored back to the A.O. for fresh adjudication, emphasizing the need for definite findings of fact.

2. Penalty Proceedings Under Section 271(1)(c):
The penalty appeals for A.Ys. 1989-90 and 1990-91 were linked to the quantum proceedings. Since the quantum additions were restored for verification, the penalties under Section 271(1)(c) did not survive. The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s order, allowing the A.O. the liberty to initiate penalty proceedings in the set aside proceedings if deemed fit.

3. Addition to Income Based on Credits in the Debtor's Bank Accounts:
For A.Y. 1991-92, the assessee's appeal contested the addition of Rs.13,23,45,918/- based on credits in Shri H. K. Dalal's bank accounts. The Tribunal had previously remitted the matter back to the A.O. to verify the source of these credits. The A.O. found that the loan account in the name of the assessee in Shri H. K. Dalal's books was validated by the Special Court. The addition was confirmed as the assessee failed to reflect these amounts in its accounts or provide any explanation. The Tribunal upheld the addition, rejecting the assessee's reliance on the decision in CIT vs. Xylon Holdings Pvt. Ltd., as there was no waiver of any loan or liability.

4. Verification of Additions as Profits Arising from Security Transactions:
The Revenue's appeal for A.Y. 1991-92 involved three additions: Rs.17,69,64,610/-, Rs.99,31,857/-, and Rs.14,25,87,483/-, related to profits from security transactions. The Tribunal had previously directed the A.O. to verify if these amounts were reflected in the loan account of Shri A. D. Narottam. The CIT(A) deleted the additions based on the Tribunal's directions. The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s order, noting that the primary facts were not in dispute and the directions by the Tribunal in the first round were binding.

Conclusion:
The Tribunal's order resulted in the dismissal of some appeals and allowed others for statistical purposes, emphasizing the need for verification and adherence to the Tribunal's previous directions. The detailed findings and directions for fresh adjudication highlighted the importance of proper verification and compliance with judicial directions in tax assessments and penalty proceedings.
