You only want to restrict lookup field on contact or do you also don't want to restrict contact's child record – Tushar Sharma Feb 5 at 5:58

means if the contact status is Pending then i dont want to associate this contact to any other entity. – sam Feb 5 at 6:01

You can use a Validation Rule like this, e.g. on Case Object:
AND(
NOT(ISBLANK(ContactId)),
ISPICKVAL(Contact.Status__c, 'Pending')
)
If you want to run this rule only on Contact Person (Lookup) change, you can add one additional check:
AND(
NOT(ISBLANK(ContactId)),
ISCHANGED(ContactId),
ISPICKVAL(Contact.Status__c, 'Pending')
)
Please let me know if it helps.
Best, Stefan
