\usepackage{hhline}

Your modified code is given below:

\begin{table*}[t]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l|l||l}
\hline
\multicolumn{1}{c|}{Case}
& \multicolumn{2}{|c}{$Example 1$} \\  \cline{2-3}
& \multicolumn{1}{|c||}{A} & \multicolumn{1}{|c}{B}
\\ \hhline{--||-}
% States      Cycles            States      Cycles
Baseline   & 42   & 3931      \\
Base + Case1
& 48(+14.3 \%) & 3163(-19.5 \%)\\
Base + Case2
& 31(-26.2 \%) & 2831(-28  \%)\\
\hhline{--||-}
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table*}

Please get back if you have further problems,
