The word tacha can have different definitions, one of them is the one that refers to a kind of tack or screw that comes as an ornament in some garments, for example in purses, blouses or dresses. Within the legal context, the strikethrough represents the procedural instrument by means of which certain documents that have some imperfection are invalidated. In public or private documents, strikeouts are words or expressions that appear invalidated by a line that renders them useless, therefore, for a legal document not to be voided, it must not have strikeouts.
In judicial proceedings, strikeouts are used to deny documentary and expert testimonial evidence, alleging errors or falsehoods in their formalities. The strikethrough in the documents removes the evidentiary validity of the writing as such, but not the legal act implicit in it. Some of the grounds for which documents could be crossed out are: falsehood and lack of seriousness in the office.
