Three bonds worth Rs 100,000 were submitted to the ATC.
One case relates to the attack on Jinnah House on 9 May.
ATC cases registered at various police stations.
LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Tuesday submitted bail in four cases registered against him – three of which were in the Anti-Terrorism Court while the other was registered in the Lahore High Court (LHC). .
Three ATC cases against Khan were registered at different police stations in Lahore following the arson cases that took place on May 9 after the PTI chief was arrested by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in a ₹190 million case.
Three bonds of Rs 100,000, which were submitted to the ATC on behalf of advocate Habib, were approved by ATC judge Ijaz Ahmed Buttar.
An anti-terrorism court had already on May 19 granted Khan anti-arrest bail in three cases — one of which relates to the attack on the Corps Commander House in Lahore — till June 2.
After the ATC, in the fourth case, Khan went to the LHC to submit the bond. The case pertains to misrepresentation and concealment of evidence of the alleged murder of PTI worker — Zille Shah.
The LHC too has already granted pre-arrest bail to Khan in the case till June 2.
Before Khan's arrival at the ATC, an application was made before ATC judge Abhar Gul Khan to allow Khan's vehicle to enter the court premises.
The petition cited "danger" to the PTI chief's life as the reason for the request.
Permission was subsequently granted and the jammer car along with other security vehicles left Zaman Park for the court.

Preceding Khan's landing in the ATC, a request was documented under the steady gaze of ATC Judge Abhar Gul Khan mentioning consent for Khan's vehicle to enter the court premises.
The appeal refered to the "risk" to the PTI boss' life as the justification behind the solicitation.
In this manner, consent was conceded and a vehicle with jammers alongside other security vehicles left Zaman Park for the court.
