Selenium - Java : PhantomJS : Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.openqa.selenium.remote.HttpVerb

I am trying to instantiate a PhantomJS Driver with Selenium Java. Below is the code :

     File file = new File("C:\\Softwares\\drivers\\phantomjs-2.1.1-windows\\bin\\phantomjs.exe");               
     System.setProperty("phantomjs.binary.path", file.getAbsolutePath());       
     WebDriver driver = new PhantomJSDriver();  
     driver.get("http://www.google.com");

I have tried with different versions of Selenium and I am getting the same exception :

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.openqa.selenium.remote.HttpVerb
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openqa/selenium/remote/HttpVerb
    at org.openqa.selenium.phantomjs.PhantomJSDriver.getCustomCommands(PhantomJSDriver.java:166)
    at org.openqa.selenium.phantomjs.PhantomJSCommandExecutor.<init>(PhantomJSCommandExecutor.java:62)
    at org.openqa.selenium.phantomjs.PhantomJSDriver.<init>(PhantomJSDriver.java:110)

I'm using the below list of dependencies in my project :

  1. phantomjsdriver
  2. selenium-common.jar
  3. selenium-java 2.53.1 . jar

The reason I'm using an outdated version of selenium library is due to some article I found over the internet saying that remote/HttpVerb is deprecated and downgrading the library would remove the error. However, I'm still getting this error

Please check this dependancy in POM

      <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
      <artifactId>selenium-remote-driver</artifactId>
      <version>2.53.1</version>

Check whether this class is present or not
