  We show that minimal disturbance to the robust charge ordered
Pr(0.5)Ca(0.5)MnO(3) by 2.5% Al substitution on Mn-site drives the system
towards ferromagnetic ground state. The history-dependent coexisting phases
observed are explained as an outcome of a hindered first order transition with
glass like arrest of kinetics resulting in irreversibility. Consistent with a
simple phase diagram having ferromagnetic ground state, it is experimentally
shown that these coexisting phases are far from the equilibrium.
