I'm trying to get a man-page for the return call in C programming language but nothing appropriate installed on my system(GNU/Linux Debian). Where should I look for documentation?

You can find nice HTML and PDF versions of C89, C99, and C11 here:

There is also GNU C Library:

There is no "man page" because return is a C language keyword not a function; you cannot call return; it is simply an instruction to exit a function and return to the point after the call to that function.

Anyway, the documentation for return is in the language definition. Any documentation, reference or tutorial for C will explain it. For example http://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/return.
