#140641 - You definitely need buffers at the inputs of ADC!

The impedance in Ch0 source is 5K6 and that of Ch1 source is
100 ohms.

I am perplexed that why should
there be interefernce from other channel. There is nopossibility
of capacitive coupling as frequency in question is very low.

Maybe your input signals do not contain high frequencies, but don't forget, that the MCP3202 is a fast beast! Datasheet tells, that source impedance of circuitry feeding the inputs of MPC3202 should be idealy zero Ohm. Also, the current loop area of input signal should be as minimal as possible. But you extend this area over the whole voltage divider circuitry plus multiplexer circuitry, which could add some noxious inductivity, causing an internal failure.

I don't want to say, that this is the cause of your failure, but (please don't feel offended) I see so many design rules violated in your circuit, that it is no surprise for me, that something does not work properly.
