The usage of the custom formatter is one of the possibilities. One can also use unobtrusive style of onclick binding

First one defines

var grid = $("#list"),
    getColumnIndexByName = function(columnName) {
        var cm = grid.jqGrid('getGridParam','colModel'),i=0,l=cm.length;
        for (; i<l; i++) {
            if (cm[i].name===columnName) {
                return i; // return the index
            }
        }
        return -1;
    },
    disableIfChecked = function(elem){
        if ($(elem).is(':checked')) {
            $(elem).attr('disabled',true);
        }
    };

Then one can use the in the loadComplete the code like

loadComplete: function() {
    var i=getColumnIndexByName('closed');
    // nth-child need 1-based index so we use (i+1) below
    $("tbody > tr.jqgrow > td:nth-child("+(i+1)+") > input",
      this).click(function(e) {
        disableIfChecked(this);
    }).each(function(e) {
        disableIfChecked(this);
    });
}

You can create a custom formatter. In your grid,

formatter: cboxFormatter,

Then define the function,

function cboxFormatter(cellvalue, options, rowObject)
{
  return '<input type="checkbox"' + (cellvalue ? ' checked="checked"' : '') + 
      'onclick="alert(' + options.rowId + ')"/>';
}

You can use onclick to perform your task or call a function.

This worked for me:

    // Listen for Click Events on the 'Process' check box column
    $(document).on("click", "td[aria-describedby='grdOrders_Process']", function (e) {
        var checked = $(e.target).is(":checked")

        var rowId = $(e.target).closest("tr").attr("id")
        rowData = jQuery("#grdOrders").getRowData(rowId);

        alert("Checked: " + checked)
        alert("OrderNo: " + rowData.OrderNo);
        alert("Name: " + rowData.Name);
    });
