@praveen.bachhu - It’s seems due to Internetexplorer driver is not compatible with Selenium. Please check again by replacing selenium jar with latest one.

Hi Ajeet,  
I managed to resolve the issue, I’m not sure whether it might work for other people or not.  
It is a random resolution, all I did go to settings set the following in the Desired Capabilities:

 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/0/0dad7a0d057cdff547925207d6ba556138b23ebd.png)  
Apply and OK

Then Run the test case, notice throwing the above error.  
Now go back to Settings → DesiredCapabilities → your browser option → click Clear → Apply and OK(literally you’re clearing everything ),  
Now run the test case and notice the test case running successfully.

Thank you for the assistance anyway.
