The exparte divorce granted by a court of foreign country is not recognised as legally valid divorce in India for the marriage that was solemnised in India as per Indian laws. Therefore there is no question of expiration of appeal period.

Even if the other party do not prefer an appeal he can very well file a petition stating that the divorce granted in a foreign country is not valid and he still remains married to other spouse and has conjugal rights over the spouse, the Indian court will allow such claim. 

Therefore instead of getting into legal tangles, better ask your would be spouse to file a divorce petition in India and get an exparte divorce in India which would be valid after which you can go ahead with the proposed marriage. 

If the person had obtained an exparte divorce in India and if the appeal period has expired, then the person can go ahead with the proposed marriage in India. 

your friend cannot marry until the expiration of appeal period.

An exparte divorce decree in a foreign  country obtained by a person is not valid in India. It can be challenged anytime in India and the marriage is considered dissolved. The marriage still exists.

If he has also obtained a decree of divorce in India too then that is fine. That decree is valid in India. You may go ahead with the marriage. What you are suggesting is to register it afterwards. But marriage date is when one gets married.

Not advisable, as exparte divorce of an India couple by a  foreign Court, is not recognized in IndiA.
