Hi @jatin-bhateja ,

This is just a small bug fix, which follows the code style of current implementation.
Maybe you can still go on with your enhancement after this fix.

It took me hours to narrow down and fix the problem.
Otherwise, it would be completely a waste of time to do this kind of things.
Thanks.
