I dont think indemnity bond will be required for issuing duplicate reader's ticket afterall we are in the arena of providing service to the users. But while issuing Duplicate Reader's ticket, the issuing authority can take an undertaking from the user in the following format.
I the undersigned -------- would hereby request you to issue me a Duplicate Reader's Ticket as i have lost my original Reader's Ticket. I herewith undertake to fulfill whatever losses the library shall accrue on account of accidental/deliberate usage of my original ticket lost by me. The 'Duplicate Reader's Ticket' should carry the carry the stamp 'DUPLICATE' on it.
However when a user gives in writing to the library that he/she has lost the original ticket, librarians on their part should take/make all possible efforts to prevent the misuse of the ticket with appropriate remarks in the database. The misuse can further be prevented by assigning a new number to the user and transferring all old records into the new ones. But this is tedious & cumbersome and may not be possible all time especially if a library has large user base or the frequency of losses is high.
