                dataInit: function (element) {
                    $(element).keyup(function () {
                        var val1 = element.value;
                        var num = new Number(val1);
                        if (isNaN(num))
                        { alert("Ingresar solo numeros"); }
                    })
                }
            }
        },

You can use the build in validation. For this purpose you will need to use editrules. More you can find here in Guriddo jqGrid documentation.

In you case it is simple:

{
    name: 'horaRegistro', index: 'horaRegistro', width: 0, editable: true, hidden: false, 
    edittype: 'text', 
    editoptions: {
        size: 15, 
        maxlengh: 10,
    },
    editrules : { 
       number : true
    }
},

You also can set min max and other limitations.
