What do you mean, the class is no longer useful in other places?

Please give more details about what you're trying to do.

here the class b is used only inside of class A, no where else it is used.

Perhaps you could define it as an inner class?

please suggest what type of inner class best suited for this and using an inner class is a best practice?

I use inner classes only when the class only makes sense within the context of the parent class. I think it is something that is overused in general and your caution is warranted.
