(ii) Panchayats have no power to prepare a plan for Economic Development and Social Justice. (iii) Panchayat can file a petition against an order of a State Authority.

Article 243G, inserted by the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992, lets the State Legislature endow Panchayats with powers to prepare plans for economic development and social justice and to implement schemes for them, including those on the 29 matters of the Eleventh Schedule.
Statement (i) is true: implementing schemes for economic development and social justice is expressly within Article 243G.

Statement (iii) is true: State Panchayat Acts, such as the Tamil Nadu Panchayats Act, 1994, make each Panchayat a body corporate that can sue and be sued, so a Panchayat can file a petition before a court against an order of a State authority.
(i) and (iii) only option is correct.
