We report the effect of disorder on the properties of La{sub 0.37}Bi{sub 0.15}Sm{sub 0.15}Ca{sub 0.33}MnO{sub 3} manganite synthesized by sol – gel method. The critical properties were investigated through various techniques such as modified - Arrott plot, Kouvel - Fisher method and critical isotherm analysis. The sample show second- order phase transition near critical point. The decrease in magnetization (M), Curie temperature (T{sub C}), evolution of spin or cluster glass behavior and the nature of phase transition compared to first - order transition in La{sub 0.67}Ca{sub 0.33}MnO{sub 3} are ascribed to the disorder caused by the size mismatch of the A-site cations with Bi and Sm doping at La- site.
