 * I made a post with Read restriction to Group A only,
    Created a user to Group
   B and login as this user. As Group B user, I cannot see the post in dashboard(
   which is expected), but still can view the post by visiting the permalink.
 * Is this normal?

 * No this would not be normal. You should not be able to view the post with the“
   Group B” user unless that user also is a member of “Group A”.
 * Maybe the “Group B” user is being served a page via cache which skips the access
   restrictions?
