I had just added class cancel to remove validation of concern form.

There are several solutions in this question: jQuery Validation plugin: disable validation for specified submit buttons

$("form").validate().cancelSubmit = true;

Looks like what you're after.

EDIT: You can configure the CSS class to disable validation when you attach validate() to your form, like this:

$("#myform").validate({
   ignore: ".ignore"
})

The example is from this question: jQuery Validation plugin: disable validation for specified submit buttons when there is submitHandler handler

use like:

  <input class="cancel" type="submit" value="Save" />

You can add a css class of cancel to a submit button to suppress the validation

e.g

<input class="cancel" type="submit" value="Save" />

See the jQuery Validator documentation of this feature here: Skipping validation on submit

EDIT:

The above technique has been deprecated and replaced with the formnovalidate attribute.

<input formnovalidate="formnovalidate" type="submit" value="Save" />
