Plagiarism by Dr. Chandra Krishnamurthy, the former Vice Chancellor Of Pondicherry University
Dr. Chandra Krishnamurthy was the first female Vice Chancellor of Pondicherry University (https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/puducherry/pondy-varsity-vc-leaves-behind-chequered-legacy/article8587543.ece). She wrote a book titled 'Legal Education In India' which was published by Himalayan Publishing House (https://haklak.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Fraudulent-claims-in-CV.pdf). Though she claimed to have published three books 'Legal Education In India', 'Human Rights for Vulnerable Group' and  'Constitutional Law – New Challenges' only the first one .i.e., 'Legal Education In India' was trackable (https://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/pondicherry-v-c-has-a-problem-cv-has-a-suspect-book-two-that-cant-be-traced/). More than 95% of this book was found to be plagiarized (https://haklak.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Fraudulent-claims-in-CV.pdf). Out of total eight chapters of the book, five were found to be plagiarized from the work of distinguished scholars like Padmashree N R Madhava Menon, an eminent legal educator and the founder of National Law School in Bangalore (https://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/pondicherry-v-c-has-a-problem-cv-has-a-suspect-book-two-that-cant-be-traced/). The book's first chapter titled "Legal Education and Advocates Act, 1961" is a copy-paste of the 184th report of Law commission of India titled "The Legal Education & Professional Training and Proposals for Amendments to the Advocates Act, 1961 and the University Grants Commission Act, 1956" (https://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/pondicherry-v-c-has-a-problem-cv-has-a-suspect-book-two-that-cant-be-traced/). Chapter 8 from the book is copied from her own paper 'Legal Education and Legal Profession in India' which was published in International Journal of Legal Information in 2008, making it a case of self-plagiarism but the paper was itself found be plagiarized to an extent of 72% (https://haklak.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Fraudulent-claims-in-CV.pdf). This paper was later retracted (https://scholarship.law.cornell.edu/ijli/vol36/iss2/9/) and the book was withdrawn by the publishers (https://haklak.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Fraudulent-claims-in-CV.pdf).
