Somehow one of my checkouts in UCM has no activity attached to it and when i try to to undo checkout, it says that cleartool: Error: To operate on UCM branch, must be set to an activity and a UCM view. Has anyone come across this kind of scenario? Please advise. According to IBM we could remove the view and all its references and then re-create it which should solve the issue of the checkout.
Is there a way to find what has gone wrong and any suggestions to fix the issue?

Yes, it is the nuke-view approach:
cleartool rmview -force -uuid (uuid_of_the_view) -vob \aVob
Keep it mind it will cancel any checkout produced by that view.

Maybe the activity was somehow deleted, leaving the checked out version "orphaned" (in term of activity, that is).
An cleartool lshistory -minor on the vob (vob:\avob) for instance, or the element of the file (path/to/file@@) might reveal some event which could shed light on this circumstance.
