bug: /list_projects API returns inconsistent response when no projects are found

[ayush3160]

What happened:

When making GET request to /list_projects of auth server incase of no projects it gives response like this

{
    "message": "No projects found"
}{
    "data": {
        "projects": [],
        "totalNumberOfProjects": 0
    }
}

What you expected to happen:

Incase of no projects it can only return a message field

{
    "message": "No projects found"
}

Where can this issue be corrected? (optional)

It's happening because there is no return statement here

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
