Departing from earlier practice of counting 24 hrs as 2 days, most of the states now follow 1 day = 1 day. Therefore, your friend will have to serve 1 years, subject to remission, if any, granted by the Govt.

the friend of yours should file an appeal against the order of sentence and seek the stay against sentence.
