Use this instead:

if(typeof $().validate == 'undefined')
{
    /// same code as before except pointing at your local jQuery.validate path
}

DEMO - Check if validate exists

Returns true in the console if it exists and false if not.
Remove the script reference in the DEMO to get false as output.

Your complete code may look similar to this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jQuery.Validate/1.6/jQuery.Validate.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    if (typeof jQuery == 'undefined') {
        document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='/Script/jquery-1.7.2.min.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
    };

    if (typeof $().validate == 'undefined') {
        document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='/Script/jquery.Validate-1.6.min.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
    }
</script>
