Apps Check Box selector in Style not working on Theme

[Jask]

Greetings ,
I have 2 themes, dark and light which will be applied on the of their respective buttons. For checkbox i have made 2 styles based on those two themes.

in XML

<CheckBox
   android:text="CheckBox"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:id="@+id/checkBox2"
   android:theme="?attr/check_style"/>
in attr.xml

   <attr name="check_style" format="reference"/>

in themes.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   <style name="dark" parent="AppTheme">
      <item name="check_style">@style/MyCheckBox1</item>
   </style>
   <style name="light" parent="AppTheme">
      <item name="check_style">@style/MyCheckBox3</item>
   </style>

</resources>
in styles.xml

<style name="MyCheckBox1" parent="Widget.AppCompat.CompoundButton.CheckBox">
   <item name="colorControlNormal">@android:color/black</item>
   <item name="colorControlActivated">@android:color/holo_orange_dark</item>
</style>
<style name="MyCheckBox3" parent="Widget.AppCompat.CompoundButton.CheckBox">
   <item name="android:drawable">@drawable/selector_checkbox</item>
</style>

in selector_checkbox.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   <item android:drawable="@drawable/apptheme_btn_check_on_focused_holo_light" android:state_checked="true" />
   <item android:drawable="@drawable/apptheme_btn_check_off_focused_holo_light" android:state_checked="false" />
   <item android:drawable="@drawable/apptheme_btn_check_on_focused_holo_light" android:state_pressed="true" />
   <item android:drawable="@drawable/apptheme_btn_check_off_focused_holo_light"/>


</selector>

For the style for checkbox in Dark, it works like a charm, but for the checkbox in light theme, once checkbox gets selected , only checked drawable is showing, no matter how many times if i deselect the checkbox.

Please help how to resolve it??

NOTE : if i use the selector in xml like android:button="@drawable/selector_checkbox"
then it works perfect.
