"All have lower limb injuries and since the nature of the wound was too bad we had to plan multiple surgeries in a phased manner. We will discharge them once they can manage themselves at home," he said. The explosion outside Gate No 5 of the high court on Septmeber 7 killed 15 and injured 76 people, many of whom have become handicapped for life.
