Explanation:

Statement 1 is not correct: The term Gram Sabha is defined in Indian constitution under Article 243(b). It is the fulcrum of the Panchayati Raj and village development. It is used by people to discuss local governance and development issues, and make need- based plans for the village.

Statement 2 is correct: It is a permanent body. It is the Sabha of the electorate unlike all other institutions of the Panchayati Raj like the Gram Panchayat, Block Panchayat and Zilla Parishad which are constituted by elected representatives.

Statement 3 is not correct: The decisions taken by the Gram Sabha cannot be annulled by any other body. The power to annul a decision of the Gram Sabha rests with the Gram Sabha only.
