The solution is, Using / passing the same Web Driver object across your step_def. From your Question i assume, you have multiple Step Def files, If the stories are small and related put all of them in a single step_def file and have a single Web driver object. If it is not the case, invoke every step_def with a predefined Driver object that is globally declared in the configuration loader.

Thank you for help but could you elaborate more as i have defined one helper class where i have method to evoke browser and in all step_def i am calling that method to evoke browser.So where to define that browser so that i could gate that browser in all step_def.And i could not put all step_def in one.

Then its much simpler, have a initialize method(or a constructor) in your helper class to instantiate your driver object. Then have a getter for the same. Now you can call the getter wherever you want. Only thing is, Have your Helper class common to all your step_def. If you still need some help, better show your classes, so that we can suggest where you need to modify.
For using one browser to run all test cases use singleton design pattern i.e make class with private constructor and define class instance variable with a private access specifier.Create a method in that class and check that class is null or not and if it is null than create a new instance of class and return that instance to calling method.for example i am posting my code.
class OpenBrowserHelp { private WebDriver driver; private static OpenBrowserHelp browserHelp; private OpenBrowserHelp() { this.driver = new FirefoxDriver() driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS); driver.manage().window().maximize(); } public static OpenBrowserHelp getOpenBrowserHelp() { if (null == browserHelp) { browserHelp = new OpenBrowserHelp(); } return browserHelp; } WebDriver getDriver() { return driver } void setDriver(WebDriver driver) { this.driver = driver } public void printSingleton() { System.out.println("Inside print Singleton"); } Now, where ever you need to create browser instance than use
WebDriver driver = OpenBrowserHelp.getOpenBrowserHelp().getDriver();
