We report the existence of Griffiths phase (GP) over a wide range of x in La0.6Sr0.4Mn1-xCoxO3, the solid solution of ferromagnetic (FM) La0.6Sr0.4MnO3 and La0.6Sr0.4CoO3, from magnetization measurements. In this compound, GP arises due to the quenching of randomly distributed Co-O-Mn antiferromagnetic bonds in the FM background. In contrary to divalent doped manganites, GP in the present system can exist entirely in the metallic state above TC (for x<0.10). Based on the present study, a magnetoelectronic phase diagram is drawn.
