NEW DELHI, Nov 29 (Reuters) - India's foreign ministry

said on Friday that bribery allegations against billionaire

Gautam Adani by U.S. authorities is a legal matter between

private firms and the U.S. Department of Justice and that New

Delhi is not involved in the case at this point.

"There are established procedures and legal avenues in such

cases which we believe would be followed. The government of

India was not informed in advance on the issue," foreign

ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal told reporters at a weekly

briefing.
