NEW YORK, April 7 (Reuters) - Gautam Adani, one of India's richest people, will ask a judge to dismiss the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's civil fraud case against him, his lawyers said on Tuesday.

In a filing in the Brooklyn, New York federal court, Adani's lawyers said the SEC's claims were "impermissibly extraterritorial," and no statements challenged by the regulator were actionable. Adani and his nephew Sagar Adani, who is also a defendant, also disputed there was any credible evidence supporting the bribery scheme that the SEC alleged.
