Now the problem is that I am not able to specify any return type since it depends upon the condition which is known at runtime. I tried to introduce template as:

Yeah, it sucks because you're taking so many decisions.

Is there no way to reduce coding at caller side??

If you want to handle them n the same way, then why not make them the same?
