When the facts entitling the plaintiff to have the instruments are known - The period for filing a suit to set aside or cancel an instrument begins when the plaintiff first becomes aware of the facts that entitle him to such relief. This is emphasized under Article 59 of the Limitation Act, 1963, which provides a three-year limitation from the date the facts first become known to the plaintiff.

Analysis and Conclusion
The key criterion for determining when a plaintiff is entitled to have an instrument set aside is the moment they first acquire knowledge of the facts that justify such relief. The limitation period of three years under Article 59 commences from this date. Therefore, plaintiffs must act promptly once they become aware of any irregularities, forgery, clandestine execution, or other grounds entitling them to relief, to avoid their claim being barred by time.
