The Ingham county circuit court has jurisdiction to restrain violations of this act, including the restraint of transportation of gas or the operation of a pipeline facility, and to enforce standards established under this act upon petition by the attorney general.

The failure to give such notice and afford such opportunity shall not preclude the granting of appropriate relief.
