Hi Nagarjun T,
Bellow code will work for you.
JavaScript: return false is added to avoid your page refresh while opening popup window. 
<apex:page setup="false" sidebar="false" standardController="contact" recordSetVar="ContactList">
<apex:form >
<apex:commandButton value="New Contact" action="/apex/customcontacts"/>
<apex:pageBlock >    
    <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!Contactlist}" var="A"> 
            <apex:column headerValue="Contact Name"> 
            <apex:commandLink onclick = "JavaScript:window.open('/apex/customcontactsdetailedpage?id={!A.id}','ContactDetails','height=500, width=500'); return false;">
            {!A.Name}
            </apex:commandLink>
        </apex:column> 
    <apex:column value="{!A.ID}"/>
    <apex:column value="{!A.Phone}"/>
    <apex:column value="{!A.mailingcountry}"/>
    </apex:pageBlockTable> 
 </apex:pageBlock>           
 </apex:form>
 </apex:page>

Hi Nagarjun.
Please use target="_blank" for open new window 
<apex:commandLink action="/apex/CustomContactsDetailedPage?id={!A.id}" target="_blank" > 
 {!A.Name} 
</apex:commandLink>

Hi Nagarjun.

You can use the below code
 Popup: 
<apex:commandLink value=" {!A.Name}" onclick="window.open('/ {!A.id}')"/> {!A.Name}  </apex:commandLink >


Or
In New Tab:
  
<apex:commandLink action="/apex/CustomContactsDetailedPage?id={!USE_YOUR_PARAMITERS_HERE}" target="_blank"> {!A.Name}  </apex:commandLink >


Thanks

You need to use JS:

Use Below Code:
 

<apex:page setup="false" sidebar="false" standardController="contact" recordSetVar="ContactList">
<apex:form >
    <apex:commandButton value="New Contact" action="/apex/customcontacts"/>
<apex:pageBlock >    
            <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!Contactlist}" var="A"> 
                    <apex:column headerValue="Contact Name"> 
                    
                    <apex:commandLink value="{!A.id}" onclick="window.open('/apex/customcontactsdetailedpage?id={!A.id}')"/> 
                        {!A.Name}  
                    </apex:commandLink >

                </apex:column> 
            <apex:column value="{!A.ID}"/>
            <apex:column value="{!A.Phone}"/>
            <apex:column value="{!A.mailingcountry}"/>
            
            </apex:pageBlockTable> >
 </apex:pageBlock>           
            </apex:form>
 

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function popitup(url) {
    newwindow=window.open(url,'name','height=200,width=150');
    if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
    return false;
}


</script>
  </apex:page>
