The answer is no. The Trial: Pyaar, Kaanoon, Dhokha (both Season 1 and 2) is the Indian adaptation of the American series The Good Wife. The makers at the start of the series have clearly mentioned that all the cases and characters shown in the series are fictional and are not based on any real life person or case.
The answer is no. Both Shanaya Q and Pernia are top social media influencers living in Mumbai.
Shanaya Q is accused of drink and driving and also hit and run. Shanaya has been sued by Pernia. When Pernia was sleeping in her car after a party,, she was rammed from behind by a SUV allegedly driven by Shanaya.
Later, Shanaya fled from the spot after ramming Pernia's car.
While at first the case seemed like drink and drive, Shanaya then gets arrested for attempt to murder.
During the course of the case, it was revealed that it was actually Shanaya's younger sister Rabia who actually rammed Pernia's car. Shanaya was so drunk that she passed out at the pillion seat and could not even remember what happened.
In the end, Pernia agrees to Noyonika's settlement offer that Shanaya will quit social media for 5 years. Therefore, Pernia takes back her case seeing that she can now grow on social media with her competition Shanaya out of the business.
