The validity shall not apply to rights, titles or interests in any immovable property conferred by a registered instrument, prior to the publication of this Act and nothing in this Act shall prejudicially affect any rights, powers or remedies conferred on a mortgagee or chargee by deposit of a document or documents of title by the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, of India, as applied to Kenya.
