            'parent'=>'required|integer',
            'status'=>'required|string',
        ];
    }
}

You can use Laravel's required_if validation in order to achieve this. Sintax goes like this:

'field_name' => 'required_if:columnName:value'

I think you could try this:

    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'category_name'=>'required|string|min:5:max:20',
            'parent'=>'required_if:status,!=,1|integer',
            'status'=>'required_if:parent,!=,1|string',
        ];
    }
