The tax refund, USD 9094 is NOT taxable as the same relates to the years mentioned by you as 2002 - 2005.
Interest received on the same i.e. USD 1110.4 is taxable in India as the same is received in August 2014 i.e. financial year 2014-15, when you are RESIDENT in India. You can claim the DTAA. (Double taxation Avoidance Agreement)
