still an issue the fix works

Checks are failing due to test cases, which are expecting validation on single field. which is exactly not the case here.

@Saurabh-Sharma Hi,
I've applied you patch and it seems to workaround the issue without fixing it.
I suggest to add an "index" property in the "element" object using the jquery .index() method, then change the find-by-name function to accept it:
return $( this.currentForm ).find( "[name='" + this.escapeCssMeta( name ) + "']:eq(" + index + ")" );
I'm not familiar with the validator code, but if you cannot give it a try I could to hack around my idea.
What do you think?
Cheers,
Francesco
