20. In the absence of a police officer it shall be lawful for any health officer or food officer in whose presence an offence against any of these rules has been committed to arrest the offender and either give him into the custody of a police officer or take him to the nearest police station: Provided that no such arrest shall be effected except in a public place or place of public resort, or unless it is impracticable to proceed against the offender by complaint and summons.
21. A right of appeal from any decision of any person entrusted with discretionary power under these rules shall, unless proceedings have already been taken before a magistrate in relation thereto, be to the Governor in Council. Such appeal shall be by means of a written petition and shall be presented within fourteen days from the date the exercise of the power is brought to the notice of the person concerned.
