You need an extra ; because find needs one, and the case needs two.

  blah) find ..... {} \; ;;

I prefer to put the ;; on a new-line:

case "$inputs" in
    sapte) find /pools/home_unix/sapte/work/models/model -name "*.xml" exec rm -i {} \;
    ;;
    ckm1) find /pools/home_unix/ckm1/work/models/model -name "*.xml" exec rm -i {}  \;
    ;;
esac
