• Are you getting the correct number of check boxes in the list List<WebElement> Checkbox
• The case of String id =El.getAttribute("value"); is same as the one passed in EventCategory.

@simplycoder Thnaks for looking into it.
I am getting correct number of checkboxes in List .i.e 15 .
But problem is in Web element El I am getting all checkboxes values and then with
if(id.equals(EventCategory) it compares all values with one value in 'EventCategory' and fails.
Do I need iterate a list of WebElements and then compare it with EventCategory and then perform action of Click() ?

1. Get the list of check boxes (You already done that)
2. Iterate through the list of check boxes with value attribute
3. try something like this

String id = Checkbox.get(i).getAttribute("value");
 if(id.equals(EventCategory))
 {
Checkbox.get(i).click();
// break if its only going to be one value.
 }

String id = Checkbox.get(i).getAttribute("value"); if(id.equals(EventCategory)) { Checkbox.get(i).click(); // break if its only going to be one value. }

I think what gave above is correct, can you also perform trim as well. ( I think you might have done it already though)..

List<WebElement> Checkbox = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//input[@type='checkbox']"));
        int i=0;
        while(i<Checkbox.size())
        {
            WebElement El =Checkbox.get(i);   
            String id =El.getAttribute("value");
            driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5000, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
            if(id.equals(EventCategory))
            {
                Checkbox.get(i).click();
                break;
            }
            i++;
            }//End While

So the wait statement did the trick!
So always use it whenever something doesnt work, it helps. And Instead of using something like as implicit wait create something for explicit wait , I mean a user defined wait function to wait for appropriate times.
