Question is tricky and only the Bank which has issued the LC can reply it properly.

LCs are both revocable and irrevocable. An Irrevocable LC cannot be revoked by the Purchaser, however amendments can be carried out if the seller desires some amendments. If the LC transferred by you was irrevocable, then you cant revoke the LC but amendments can be carried out. But if the LC was revocable, then you can refuse the amendments and transfer the LC to other beneficiary.

But better consult your Bank before you do it.
