This might get you started - this version ignores any output from check_Network and only restarts if check_Network times out.

You could redirect the output of check_Network to a file and process the file at the bottom of this script checking for other conditions that require a restart.

I'd suggest running this script every 20min from cron rather that having it sleep and loop all the time.

Code:
TIMEOUT_SECS=20

command_timeout () {
   [ -d /proc/$check_pid ] || exit
   kill $check_pid
   wait $check_pid 2> /dev/null
   restart ntework_all
   echo "Network Handler has been restarted at $(date)" | mail -s "Network Handler" nakul_sh@mail.unix.com
}

check_Network > /dev/null 2>&1 &
check_pid=$!
parent_pid=$$

# Setup alarm for TIMEOUT_SECS that calls command_timeout
trap command_timeout SIGALRM
(sleep $TIMEOUT_SECS; kill -ALRM $parent_pid ) &
alarm_pid=$!

#wait for check_Network to finish
wait $check_pid 2> /dev/null

# We are back so cancel alarm
[ -d /proc/$alarm_pid ] && kill $alarm_pid
