1. He cannot be jailed again unless his bail is cancelled.

2. He must have engaged a defence lawyer for his defence. His lawyer has to chart out his defence strategy. after perusing the allegations in the FIR. So he should talk to his lawyer.

it is a bailable offence,i do not understand why were you kept in pulice custody as you could have got bail from the police station ,you do not need to worry about going in jail againa.as cancellation of bail is not so easy they will have to approach in high court ,all you need is try it get it compromised with the complainant as it is compoundable offence and you need to go back out of india because fighting a case will be time consuming game

As it is a non-bailable offence he was in jail for a day as of now as he is under bail his bail can not be cancelled again. but before going abroad the case has to be decided on merits or you need to settle the matter with the complainant amicably. if your friend goes abroad without finishing the case then he may be issued arrest warrant and also the bail may be cancelled he may have to be in jail till the completion
