Selenium posting command to already killed driver session of appium

My selenium hub is posting it’s command to an already killed session.

I have set the driver instantiation at the class level using @beforeclass and killing it @afterclass.

I have 2 testcases. For example:

class A - contains login page tests class B - contains landing page tests.

After executing tests in class A the created is being removed:

Removing session b384cee7-56a5-45db-83ca-910b115cbe37 from our master session list

The tests now instantiate a new android driver (with session d29a785f-23fd-4c81-a623-8b96ca2b384d and begins executing tests in class B.

But selenium hub posts the command to b384cee7-56a5-45db-83ca-910b115cbe37.

I am just able make sense out of this. Could somebody help me as to why this may be happening.

Expected Behaviour:

Selenium hub should not have posted to the deleted session b384cee7-56a5-45db-83ca-910b115cbe37 as this session was terminated after executing tests in classA.
