If your intention is to get index of the selected checkbox as given by your code, you can also achieve this via Linq(without forloop) as below.

ckl_EditRoleItems.OfType<ListItem>().Where(p=>p.Selected).Select(p => ckl_EditRoleItems.Items.IndexOf(p)).ToArray<int>();

This statement will return an array of int which will contain the index of the check boxes that are selected.

For CheckBoxList, SelectedIndex will give you just the first selected index in the CheckBoxList. If it's not -1, then something was selected. This may be enough for what you're looking for.

if( ckl_EditRole.SelectedIndex != -1 )
{
// Do Something
}

But, since the CheckBoxList can have multiple selections, you probably want to loop through the Items and look for the selected ones.

foreach( ListItem li in ckl_EditRole.Items )
{
    if( li.Selected )
    {
        // Do Something
    }
}
