You don't. Use a redirect action instead.
RedirectToAction(new {
controller="Account",
action="Login"
});
to get it to tell the login controller where to go back to try
RedirectToAction( new {
controller="Account",
action="Login",
new RouteValueDictionary {
{"actionToGoBackTo", "theActionName"},
{"controllerToGoBackTo", "theControllerName"}
});
note that the Login action will need to take two string arguments, actionToGoBackTo, and controllerToGoBackTo.

Can't you pass some routedata when you redirect, this will tell the login page what paeg to redirect to on succesful login. That way though, you'll have to get your submit method to redirect to whatever page the routedata says.

You mean, I should pass the url as routerdata like return RedirectToAction("Login", "Account", this.Url); ?

Sorry for the delay. You can pass the controller and action name in a new routevaluedictionary and redirect to this, you don't need to deal with urls so much in mvc.

Thanks for your interest. I am following as you directed but still one problem comes with this method i.e. Form data (using input type="submit"). How can preserve those data?

When you submit (using the Html helper's submit button), the names of the form fields should correspond to argument names on the action you are calling. Having received them in the action you can easily assign them to the viewdata, or to the routevaluedictionary your redirect action is passing.
