Hi Srajudheen,

It looks like a bouncing. I meen, when you close a switch the contacts can
bounce due to their mechanical character, creating in your Read lead one or a
series of rectangular spikes. Another thing is when you open the switch: if the
load is something inductive and there is some current flowing a L � dI/dt
spike will appear, but I don't thing this is your case.

You can try to change your relay whith another one but to go fast I sugest you
to replace it whith a PNP-BJT. Solid state switch doesn't have bouncings.

I hope it helps you,

Joan V. Castell
