IMO, above sed solutions will give wrong results if input has LINE3 in place of LINE1 or LINE2 for example.
Below one should work for given input patterns:
If the OP meant as his requirement to test for those LINES2 too, then this would not work in case PATTERN is followed by LINE2.
to test for the right order, and to ensure the pattern and lines are there, one could do something like this:
Still a little bit better would be:

Hi Ravinder, this one will not print the last pattern. You need an END section for that and you could replace /PATTERN/ || /LINE1/ || /LINE2/ with /PATTERN|LINE1|LINE2/ .
Also note that is not testing for all three lines to be present as it will still print lines if one or two lines are missing, or in the wrong order, or not adjacent.
