Your friend can be charged under section 497 of IPC under which his imprisonment can be extended to 5 years. They can press upon the charges any tim after they have received the information about the offence.

The situation is bit odd. But as you said one month has passed then he or she may file complinant or may not. No body knows with what kind of allegations they would come up. Your friend has no option but to cross his fingers.
