  Low temperature high magnetic field $^{57}Fe$ M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer measurements
were carried out on inter-metallic $Hf_{0.77}Ta_{0.23}Fe_2$ compound by
following novel paths in H-T space. The ferromagnetic (FM) fraction at 5K and
zero magnetic field is shown to depend on cooling field i.e., higher the field
higher is the FM fraction. M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectra collected in the presence
of 4 Tesla magnetic field shows that the antiferromagnetic (AFM) spins cant
with respect to the applied magnetic field and hence, contribute to the total
bulk magnetization in this compound. The data also show induced magnetic moment
even at the 2a site of AFM phase. M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectra collected using
CHUF (cooling and heating in un-equal magnetic fields) protocol shows
re-entrant transition when sample is cooled in zero field and measured during
warming in 4 Tesla showing FM state as the equilibrium state. The present work
is the first microscopic experimental evidence for the de-vitrification of
kinetically arrested magnetic state.
