  Decay sequence of hot ${31}^$P nucleus has been investigated through
exclusive light charged particle measurements in coincidence with individual
evaporation residues using the reaction ${19}^$F (96 MeV) + ${12}^$C.
Information on the sequential decay chain have been extracted by confronting
the data with the predictions of the statistical model. It is observed from the
present analysis that such exclusive light charged particle data may be used as
a powerful tool to probe the decay sequence of the hot light compound systems.
