provide and construct necessary STPs at suitable location in its own area for the benefit of the first Respondent. He submitted that considering the obligations of the second Respondent under the said memorandum, the first Respondent cannot waste public funds by undertaking the work of construction of STPs on its own when under the memorandum of understanding, it is the second Respondent which is under an obligation to carry out the said work. Relying upon certain newspaper cuttings, he submits that the first Respondent Pune Cantonment Board is facing a cash crunch and, therefore, after making payment of substantial amount to the second Respondent Municipal Corporation, the first Respondent cannot be permitted to use public money for construction of STPs. Learned counsel appearing for the first Respondent submitted that in view of Section 14 of the National Green Tribunal Act, 2010 ( for short “NGTA”), the Petitioner ought to have approached the National Green Tribunal. She also relied upon the affidavit of Shri Sanjeev Kumar, the Chief Executive Officer of the Cantonment Board in which the circumstances under which the decision to erect STP was taken have been set out.
