I found the solution.. This is what I did -

Navigate to Document Library -> Library Settings -> Advanced Settings -> and changed the 'Default open behavior for browser-enabled documents:' to 'Open in the client application'.

and Excel sheets worked smooth :)!

I tried the same issue on another server without enabling the excel services and all the other saga (two links mentioned in my question) and it worked fine.

I was able to check-out and check-in an excel file without any fuss. Can someone confirm this please?
