Hello Saurin,
You are right using LeadSelection you can select only 1 row at a time. You will have to make use of Selection for achieving this. First you will have to change the selection mode of the table to multiple & also change the selection property for the related context to 0..n . Please find a code extract which might help you. (However this facility is only available from SP 14.) The main part is using the set_selected method of if_wd_context_node.
data: node_zcourse_details type ref to if_wd_context_node,
         node_course_assign type ref to if_wd_context_node,
         elem_course_assign type ref to if_wd_context_element,
         stru_course_assign type if_v_details=>element_course_assign ,
         item_popin_selected like stru_course_assign-popin_selected.
"     navigate from <CONTEXT> to <ZCOURSE_DETAILS> via lead selection
node_zcourse_details = wd_context->get_child_node( name = if_v_details=>wdctx_zcourse_details ).
"     navigate from <ZCOURSE_DETAILS> to <COURSE_ASSIGN> via lead selection
node_course_assign = node_zcourse_details->get_child_node( name = if_v_details=>wdctx_course_assign ).
"     @TODO handle not set lead selection
if ( node_course_assign is initial ).
exit.
endif.
data elem_set type wdr_context_element_set.
field-symbols <wa_elem> like line of elem_set.
elem_set = node_course_assign->get_elements( ).
loop at elem_set assigning <wa_elem>.
   <wa_elem>->set_selected( TRUE OR FALSE ). " Supply either TRUE/FALSE in here
endloop.
