passport lost , new passport visa stamping

[david1955]

Hi Everyone,
I hope anyone can help me with my situation. Recently the appeal for my wife dependent visa was overturned and we were asked to submit my wife passport in british high commision in india. We submitted the passport, but unfortunately british high commision has lost our passport (although they are not accepting this) .

Now my wife is about the apply for duplicate passport, which i guess will be issued within a week under fast track scheme , but i guess she will be issued with new passport number and not the old passport number.

can anybody help me with this following questions :

(1) As new passport number will be issued , does my wife has to apply for visa again ? or the old passport along with the visa acceptance letter will work?
(2) If yes to my first question, will my wife has to give the biometrics again?

Response to my following question will be highly appreciated..

Regards
