Whats your objective here? Sorry, am not able to understand the reason for this change. 
Try the below:(Not tested)
;With cte
As
select a.ValetNO PlanNo ,
case
when JoinCode in ('00', '01', '02') then 'Actcess'
when JoinCode in ('20', '21', '22', '23','38', '39') then
'Secured' else 'Other' end Status1 ---, COUNT (*)
from dbo.ppt a(NOLOCK) left join dbo.acts b on a.P_ID = b.P_ID and a.ValetNO = b.ValetNO
select planno, status1, count(*) Counts from cte
a group by planno, status1
order by 2
Even below:
select a.ValetNO PlanNo ,
case
when JoinCode in ('00', '01', '02') then 'Actcess'
when JoinCode in ('20', '21', '22', '23','38', '39') then
'Secured' else 'Other' end Status1 , COUNT (1)
from dbo.ppt a(NOLOCK) left join dbo.acts b on a.P_ID = b.P_ID and a.ValetNO = b.ValetNO
Group by a.ValetNO ,
case
when JoinCode in ('00', '01', '02') then 'Actcess'
when JoinCode in ('20', '21', '22', '23','38', '39') then
'Secured' else 'Other' end
