The judgment involves appeals filed by the Assessee against two separate orders passed by the CIT(A), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi for the Assessment Years 1982-83 & 1983-84.

Issue 1: Interest on Refund for A.Y. 1982-83
The Assessee filed a rectification application requesting interest u/s. 244A on self-assessment tax paid and regular tax paid, along with additional compensation for delayed interest.

Similar to the previous issue, the Assessee's claim for interest on refund for A.Y. 1983-84 was remanded back to the Assessing Officer for proper verification and adjudication as per law. The Assessee was granted an opportunity of hearing, and both appeals were partly allowed for statistical purposes.

In conclusion, the judgment addressed the Assessee's claims for interest on refund for both assessment years, emphasizing the proper application of Section 244A of the Income Tax Act.
