I have Rational ClearCase v7.1.2.13
I need to delete certain checkouts from a view as these check-outs are reserved and the user has gone for a vacation.
Please help me.

The easiest to do is to "unregister" the user's checkouts:
cleartool descr -l vob:myVob
# get the uuid of the user's view from the description of the vob
cleartool mount myVob
cd m:mynewViewmyVob
cleartool rmview -force -uuid old_view_uuid
That will not modify anything in the user's views: the files are still being modified, but they won't be considered as checked out.
Instead, they will be "hijacked" (identified in snapshot view) or "eclipsed" (dynamic view).
The other option (put a reserved checkout as unreserved) is rarely possible, as it require access to the view as well as elevated privileges.

Is it possible to re-register the view? Or is there any other we to do this other than unregistering the view?

@user3437212 the view isn't unregistered: only the checkout files are: the user will have to checkout them again (again, the file themselves are not modified in any way, they just are no longer considered as checked out)

but the command 'rmview' looks like unregistering the view :)

@user3437212 not in this case: it does not unregister the view: it only removes any reference of the view (the checkout files) from the vob where you are executing the command. The view is still there and still works.
