Could be that the Cells property is nothing... Try using the FindControl method on the row instead:

  Dim chk As CheckBox = DirectCast(gvAll.Rows(i).FindControl("chk"), CheckBox)
           
  If chk IsNot Nothing Then
    chk.Checked = arr.Contains(gvAll.DataKeys(i).Value)
    If Not chk.Checked Then
      chkAll.Checked = False
    Else
      currentCount += 1
    End If
  End If
