Is the regulated 5V supply derived from the 12V line?
Can you elaborate on the power supply specifics, relationship of 5V and 12V supplies and the relay specifications?
Post a schematic of that part of the design if available.
Are the LM324s operating in single supply 5V?

After examining your schematics and the photo, I'm leaning towards relay EMI interfering with the microcontroller or LCD.
#01 You might try three caps in parallel something like, 1nF, 100nF and 4.7uF. The single 100nF bypass/decoupling cap is not as effective in filtering out the low frequency interference possible from a relay.
#02 After all, the 12V supply is driving up to six relays and their driver circuits, the current requirements add up quickly.
#03 Future reference, a possible better design would have been to locate the relays, their driver circuits, BT136, MOC3021 and snubber circuit on one PCB and the microcontroller along with signal conditioning opamp circuits on another.

The LM78XX series of three terminal positive regulators are
available in the TO-220 package and with several fixed output
voltages, making them useful in a wide range of applications.
Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shut down
and safe operating area protection, making it essentially indestructible.
If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver
over 1A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed
voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external
components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents.
#01 I'm leaning towards relay EMI interfering with the microcontroller or LCD.
I dont know much but ,,, if we replace the Resistance with the Diode is it not sufficient (say IN4007 and 1nf) will it not suppress the EMI of the Relays'
#02 You might try three caps in parallel something like, 1nF, 100nF and 4.7uF.
Please Explain the Theory and Practical use of it
#03 the 12V supply is driving up to six relays and their driver circuits
now do we need more then 1A of current to drive the 6 Relays??
#04 Future reference, a possible better design would have been to locate the relays, their driver circuits, BT136, MOC3021 and snubber circuit on one PCB and the microcontroller along with signal conditioning opamp circuits on another.
sir what if want to have all the Sections on in one PCB and why do we need to separate them??
