problem of call() returns null

Question

contract permission{
struct transaction {
        address payable sender;
        address receiver;
        string datatype;
        Status status;
    }

function getTransactionCount() public view returns(uint256 cnt) {
        uint256 len = transactions.length;
        return(len);
    }
}

the above solidty code returns the count of transactions in a contract. The data insertion(or transaction creation works fine). I get the transactionhash, as it verified but when I call the function to use the above function the contractInstance.methods.getTransactionCount().call(); returns null not default 0, even after inserting and using async/await procedure the problem still persists. Please help I have attached the test code for clarity

var Web3 = require('web3')

const web3 = new Web3('http://127.0.0.1:8545')

json = require('./../../../build/contracts/permission.json');

const interface = json['abi'];
const bytecode = json['bytecode'];


async function setup(){
    var contract =  new web3.eth.Contract(interface,'0xBcf2D22144C11C20B31A7Aa84875414B252a92DB');
    const accounts = await  web3.eth.getAccounts().then(res=>{return res;})
    const admin = accounts[9];
    var receiver = accounts[1];
    var sender = accounts[3];
    const xl = contract.deploy({ data: bytecode })
    const bb = xl.send({from: admin,gas: 4712388,gasPrice: 100000000000},(error,transactionHash)=>{console.log('w',error,transactionHash);}).then(inst=>{return inst}).catch(err=>{console.log});
    const bl = contract.methods.newTransact(receiver, 'dob').send({from: sender},(error,transactionHash)=>{console.log('e',error,transactionHash);});
    const br = await contract.methods.getTransactionCount().call().then(rlt=>{console.log(rlt)})
    const bt = contract.methods.newTransact(receiver, 'aadhar').send({from: sender},(error,transactionHash)=>{console.log('r',error,transactionHash)}).then(con=>{console.log});
    const by = await contract.methods.getTransactionCount().call().then(rlt=>{console.log(rlt)});

     console.log(br.cnt,by.cnt);
}
setup();

Still returns null,null as the output.

If await is not used then the code just waits endlessly

the following is a sample code that has the same issue as my smart contract(it is just too long for publishing here) but here too the same issue occurs.

var Web3 = require('web3')

const web3 = new Web3('http://127.0.0.1:8545')

json = require('./build/contracts/test.json');

const abi = json['abi'];
const bytecode = json['bytecode'];


async function setup(){
    const contract =  new web3.eth.Contract(abi);
    const accounts = await  web3.eth.getAccounts();
    const admin = accounts[9];
    const receiver = accounts[1];
    const sender = accounts[3];

    const deployedContract = await contract.deploy({ data: bytecode }).send({from: admin,gas: 4712388,gasPrice: 100000000000});
    const receipt =  await deployedContract.methods.setData('dob').send({from: sender});

    const data = await deployedContract.methods.getData.call();
    console.log(data);
}
setup();

the solidity code the same is :

pragma solidity >=0.4.22 <0.6.0;
pragma experimental ABIEncoderV2;

contract test{
    string data;
    function getData() view external returns(string memory){
    return data;
    }
    function setData(string calldata _data) external{
    data = _data;
    }
}

I get the transactionhash, as it verified

I believe you are mistaken about this. The returned value from ...newTransact() is a transaction hash. This is an acknowledgment that the transaction was submitted, not a confirmation that it was mined. That transaction will hang around in the transaction pool for a little while before it is included in a block.

The code suggests that you do not wait for the transaction to be mined. Right here:

const bl = contract.methods.newTransact(receiver, 'dob').send({from: sender},(error,transactionHash)=>{console.log('e',error,transactionHash);});
const br = await contract.methods.getTransactionCount().call().then(rlt=>{console.log(rlt)})

Have a look over here to get a sense of what has to happen between those steps: Get Transaction Hash And Mined Receipt

Hope it helps.
