@Gordon Davisson & @Nohillside - Many thanks - I was able to change the interactive Shell and was able to see the $Path properly.
Thanks both of your for your valuable suggestion and time to answer my question.
I followed the steps provided in the Apple website on how to change the terminalhow to change the shell and restarted my Terminal app as a Bash shell instead of zsh shell - then I was able to verify the Class path and the PATH Environment variables without any issues
