Police Personnel Checking Private Car

Can a police personnel check a random car on the base of suspicion ?
A couple is normally sitting inside their personal car and talking to each other. Suddenly a policemen came and said to get out and he started checking inside the car on the suspicion of weed smoking activities.
At the end he didn't found anything inside the car.
What are the remedies available?
Can the couple file a complaint against the policeman?
If so, under what Act or Code ?
