gas required exceeds allowance or always failing transaction in local permissioned Node

Question

I am facing the some issue with gas but i do not have any modifiers in my contract. Even a simple setter-getter contract shows the following Error

Error: gas required exceeds allowance or always failing transaction

• The above error is displayed when i try to estimateGas for setting a value for the string variable using setter().

• If i directly execute the transaction without estimateGas then i get a transaction Hash. when transaction is checked the transaction status is as follows

0x0 Transaction mined but execution failed

Contract:

pragma solidity ^0.5.0;

contract SampleContract{
    string public str;
    constructor()public{
        str="Hello World!"; 
    }
    function setter(string memory s)public{
        str=s;  
    }
}

Note: Contract Deployed directly in Geth-Console of locally created Node

• Using Private Permissioned Node Quorum (v 2.4.0)

• Solc to compile and generate abi and bytecode

Can anyone please solve my issue.

Using the above config values in genesis.json helped me deploy contracts of larger size.
