Following linear stability theory and normal mode analysis method, the dispersion relation is obtained. It is found that the presence of a magnetic field (and hence the presence of FLR and Hall effects) introduces oscillatory modes in the system which were, otherwise, non-existent in their absence. When the instability sets in as stationary convection, the FLR may have a stabilizing or destabilizing effect, but a completely stabilizing one for a certain wave-number range. Similarly, the Hall currents may have a stabilizing or destabilizing effect but a completely stabilizing one for the same wave-number range under certain condition, whereas the medium permeability always has a destabilizing effect for stationary convection. Also it is found that the system is stable for 𝑔𝛼𝜅 𝜈𝛽 ≤ 27𝜋 4 4 and under the condition 𝑔𝛼𝜅 𝜈𝛽 > 27𝜋 4 4 , the system becomes unstable.15202215202210182https://wseas.com/journals/hmt/2022/a045113-002(2022).pdf10.37394/232012.2022.17.2https://wseas.com/journals/hmt/2022/a045113-002(2022).pdfChandrasekhar, S., Hydrodynamic and hydromagnetic stability, Dover Publication, New York, 1981. 10.1063/1.1711054Jukes, J.D., Gravitational resistive instabilities in plasma with finite Larmor radius, Phys.
