Assessment/ reassessment after refund

Hi, I have a question for which I am unable to find an answer for.

: If refund for AY 2013-14 has been issued, Can the ITR be opened for scrutiny/ reassessment at a later date?

If yes, doesn't a refund mean an assessment under 143(1) has been completed and that scrutiny/reassessment cannot/should not be opened. and if so then for how long will the ITR be under observation?

Thanks
