@samhita,

You have to do the following,

1. File a police complaint first about loss of passport.
2. Go to Indian Embassy in the UK and apply for new passport.
3. Once you get the new passport, apply for a fresh dependent visa.

AFAIK, you can't another visa vignette stamped for the one you lost.

Regards,
RK

So, what if someone looses Passport with Tier-1(G) visa stamped on it now?

1. Apply for a new passport, as explained above by rkumar.
2. Contact UKBA to enquire the procedure for applying for a "replacement visa". Make sure that they understand that you have lost your passport with a valid visa endorsed and you need to apply for a replacement visa ... and not a new visa.
3. Also make sure that you are given clear advice about documentary evidence(s) needed, application form to use and associated fees.
Life isn't fair, but you can be!

assuming you had a vingette in your passport with your entry clearance/visa on then you need to apply on form TOC
