If you issue fresh bill, you have to pay ST again on the same bill.

2. If you have paid ST in excess you will be allowed to adjust in next period.

My suggestion for your case is
1. Give him the copy of duplicate bill (copy of your copy) duly attested by you
&
2. Ask the customer to fill FIR in respect of lost bill. At the time of scrutiny of case, show the attested copy along with copy of FIR.
