If you delve deep into the philosophy of Hinduism you would discover that we have conceived the idea of God on a wide spectrum. His attributes vary from utter mercy to extreme destructiveness.
Hinduism has its foundation in Ritam ऋतं and Satyam सत्यं--The divine law and order on the one hand and truth on the other.
The divinity will never permit its own judgement or sense of mercy to affect its adherence to Truth and Order.
Moreover, the fundamental concept of Hinduism is the theory of Karma and mercy is alien to it while enforcing the laws of Karma.
Maybe the bhakti school and their variants might profess sort of forgiveness on the part of the Divine being.
Anyway, that is not the whole Hinduism.
In Hinduism the controller, recompenses for good and bad deeds are without any fear, favour, or mercy.
Of course, we can pray for mercy.
True, a person sentenced to be hanged files a mercy petition.
