B. each Juvenile Justice Board shall consist of a Metropolitan Magistrate or a Judicial Magistrate and two social workers, of whom at-least one shall be a woman
C. the order passed by the Juvenile Justice Board in absence of any Member at any stage of proceedings shall be invalid
D. power of the Juvenile Justice Board may also be exercised by the High Court and the Court of Sessions, when the proceedings come before them in appeal, revision or otherwise
Explanation:
The High Court and Court of Sessions exercise appellate and revisional jurisdiction over the orders of the Juvenile Justice Board, but they do not 'exercise the power of the Juvenile Justice Board' itself in the sense of original jurisdiction.
