If a licence referred to in paragraph (1) is subsequently recovered by the holder he shall forthwith return it to the commissioner.

If a licence becomes defaced or illegible the holder shall forthwith return it to the commissioner and on such return the commissioner shall issue a duplicate of the licence marked as such.
