first, check with the company whether they have   sent the claim forms to the provident fund office. if not, the employee ( if he is not employed) can directly submit the application to the regional PF commissioner. you can also go to the provident fund website ( just type EPFO, name of the concerned city PF office ) and you can know the status of your application. even  after all these efforts, if you dont get proper response, you can write a letter to the PF authorities and other actions can follow suite.  

No need to file writ in High court. Consumer court has faster remedy. Sometimes claims are delya for want of bribe in such case if the compliant has not alerted the demandeer the CBI is seen to be acting fast and the claim is sttleed within 24 hours or arrest.

Sometimes claims are shown as returned/rejected to reduce the pendancy statastics.  RTI will be of help where you should aoso demand the rlevant extract of desptch register and the details of postage paid.
