Municipal Commissioner Girish Gokhale said that he was unable to implement the directive sent by the Urban Development department as it was incorrect in spirit and letter.

``I cannot implement the letter because it is not an order. It does not mention the provisions of the Act under which the resolution passed by the corporation on August 20, 1998 which is now in vogue could be revoked,'' said Gokhale, adding that it is ``ultra-vires'' to the civic laws.

Gokhale said since the civic resolution was passed the matter cannot even be taken for debate within the mandatory time-limit of 90 days if it has to be revoked. ``The letter is not clear,'' he said.
