The Maternity Benefit Act protects employees from termination during pregnancy. It does not prevent the company from removing you from the employment after your maternity leave is completed. So there is little you can do in this case.
However, they are required to pay your salary for 6 months of maternity leave. If you are saying salary is not credited for the maternity leave period, you have the law on your side. But it does not apply to salary after your maternity leave is over, specially as you have not joined back.
It would be strange if the company is not bothering to take you back after giving you salary for 6 months without getting any work from you. So, I can only assume they don't have work for you at the moment. Have you considered going to the office and meeting both your HR and Project Manager? Sometimes meeting face to face helps
