The following is a part of my script where I want to echo some text to the local terminal if the condition fails in ssh.

/usr/bin/sshpass -p $PASSWORD /usr/bin/ssh -t  -o "StrictHostKeyChecking no" root@$IP -p $PORT '
    cd $PATH;
    [ ! -d temp ] && mkdir temp;
    for new_file in '${NEW_FILE[@]}'
    do
        [  -f $new_file ] && mv -f $new_file temp/$new_file-'$DATE'
        DOWNLOAD=$(wget --no-check-certificate '$URL'/$new_file > /dev/null 2>&1)
        if [ '$?' -ne '0' ]; then
            mv temp/$new_file-'$DATE' '$PATH'/$new_file
            echo "$new_file download failed! please check and re-run the script"
        else
            chmod +x $new_file
        fi
    done;'

except echo remaining functionality works well ...

Let me know is it possible to echo from ssh to local terminal.

To selectively display an individual command as well as its output, you can use something like

sh -vc 'echo \"Some text\"'

although the nested quoting can start getting on your nerves pretty quickly.

ssh -t

From the man page:

     -t      Force pseudo-terminal allocation.  This can be used to execute 
arbitrary screen-based programs on a remote machine, which can be very useful, e.g. 
when implementing menu services.  Multiple -t options force tty allocation, even if
ssh has no local tty.
