Is jhatka meat considered halal by any Islamic scholars?

No — mainstream Sunni scholarship across all four madhabs (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali) holds that jhatka meat does not meet the conditions of Islamic slaughter (zabiha) and is therefore not halal, since it typically lacks the deliberate throat-cutting-and-bleeding method and the invocation of Allah's name that define valid Islamic slaughter. This is one of the more settled points among mainstream Sunni scholars, even though it's a genuinely disputed and sometimes emotionally charged topic in South Asian public discourse, where jhatka vs. zabiha debates often carry political and communal dimensions beyond the purely religious question.

It's worth being precise about what actually is debated versus what isn't: the debate in mainstream Islamic scholarship is not really "is jhatka halal" (the mainstream answer is no) but rather narrower technical questions — such as exactly how quickly the cut must be made, or borderline cases of stunning before slaughter in modern abattoirs — which is a different and more technical discussion from jhatka itself. If you see claims online that "some scholars permit jhatka," it's worth checking whether that claim is actually about mainstream Sunni fiqh or is coming from a different context altogether, since this is an area where misinformation circulates.
