Madhu - For the inline page use onclick event in the ouputlink to open the page in the new tab,instead of opening in the same iframe window.
Here is the code 
<apex:outputlink value="#" onclick="window.open('/{!Account.Id}','_blank');">{!Account.Name}</apex:outputlink>

Use apex:outputLink visualforce tag to display Name in the hyperlink, when the user click the Name it will redirect to the detail page of that particular record page 
<apex:outputLink value="/{!rec.Id}" target="_blank"> {!rec.Name} </apex:outputLink>

Hi Madhu,

You need to pass "id" of the record on the click event(using action function) in order to redirect to record detail page and use PageReference Object to redirect the page as shown below.

PageReference pf = new PageReference('/' + <id>);
pf.setRedirect(true);
return pf;

You can also use javascript for this task. All the record detail page in salesforce have URL pattern
https://<server-instance>.salesforce.com/<record-id>
So you can redirect the page on above link by dynamically passing <record-id>

Hi ritesh,

Thanks for your mail.

I have done it by passing the id(apex:param) to the page reference.

But the issue is it is a inline vfpage. and it is redirecting in same section rather than opening in a new page
