I didn't try it so maybe it would require some fix, but in the main loop maybe it could be better with something like :
Code:
while true 
do
    menu
    case $choice in
    1)            
        while :
        do
            chkout1
            case $tgtser in
            1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11)
                echo "Checked out to test server ..."
                break
            ;;
            *)      echo "Opps !!! please select a valid option"
                sleep 2
            ;;
            esac
        done
    ;;
    2)
        echo "Checked in ..."
    ;;
    3)
        echo "Checked out to local machine ..."
    ;;
    4)
        echo "Exiting ... "
    ;;
    *)
        echo "Opps !!! please select a valid option (1/2/3/4)" ;;
        sleep 2
    ;;
esac
done

You must not make duplicate calls of 'chkout1' or 'menu' you must use the while loop instead.

NAME

       echo, noecho - enable/disable terminal echo

SYNOPSIS

       int echo(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The  echo()  function enables Echo mode for the current screen. The noecho() function disables Echo mode for the current screen. Initially,
