A detailed investigation of the first order antiferromagnetic insulator (AFI) to ferromagnetic metal (FMM) transition in $Nd{_{0.5}}Sr{_{0.5}}MnO{_{3}}$ is carried out by resistivity and magnetization measurements. These studies reveal several anomalous features of thermomagnetic irreversibility across the first order transition. We show that these anomalous features can not be explained in terms of supercooling effect alone and H-T diagram based on isothermal MH or RH measurement alone do not reflect true nature of the first order transition in this compound. Our investigations reveal glass-like arrest of kinetics at low temperature which plays a dominant role in the anomalous thermomagnetic irreversibility observed in this system. The interplay between kinetic arrest and supercooling is investigated by following novel paths in the H-T space. It is shown that coexisting FMM and AFI phases can be tuned in a number of ways at low temperature. These measurements also show that kinetic arrest temperature and supercooling temperature are anti-correlated i.e. regions which are arrested at low temperature have higher supercooling temperature and vice versa.
