I urgently need either the code where the maximum likelihood equations for 3 parameter Weibull distribution are numerically solved or an authenticated procedure for determining the 3 parameters of the Weibull distribution using existing routines

Weibull Distribution:
Fit the distribution using commandline:
Or the App:
You will need the Statistics Toolbox

Thanks for the clarification. The weibull here has scale and shape as parameters but doesn't feature location.
You can use the mle function to provide your own pdf and cdf functions to estimate the parameters.
Here is an example of fitting a custom distribution:
You can obtain the pdf cdf functions from a textbook or online sources such as this one:
