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?
Where can I got a description/man page on return call in C?

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

There is also GNU C Library:
