what I can think of at this moment is to kill the process at the end of your fuctions.. eg
PID=`ps -ef |grep Test | awk '{ print $1 }'`#ensure that PID is in column 1 ($1)
kill -9 ${PID}

Bug
All you have to do is insert "fg" in line after done in Test1.ksh file.
Your script are working in background; bring it into foreground to end.

Code:
#! /bin/ksh

for i in $*
do
#echo "$i"
ksh test2 $i &
done
fg

~/scripts/play % test1 a b c
From Test 1 ==> a
From Test 1 ==> b
From Test 1 ==> c
~/scripts/play %
