We present the first in-depth study of X-ray emission from a nearby($z\sim0.0784$) galaxy cluster Abell 1569 using an archival $Chandra$observation. A1569 consists of two unbound subclusters $-$ a northernsubcluster (A1569N) hosting a double-lobed radio galaxy 1233+169 at its centre,and a southern subcluster (A1569S) harbouring a wide-angle-tailed (WAT) radiosource 1233+168. X-ray emission from A1569N and A1569S extends to a radius$r\sim248$ kpc and $r\sim370$ kpc, respectively, indicating that the two gasclumps are group-scale systems. The two subclusters have low X-ray luminosities($\sim10^{42-43}$ erg s$^{-1}$), average elemental abundances $\sim$1/4Z$_\odot$, low average temperatures ($\sim2$ keV), and lack large($r\gtrsim40-50$ kpc) cool cores associated with the intracluster gas. Wedetect a pair of cavities coincident with the radio lobes of 1233+169 inA1569N. The total mechanical power associated with the cavity pair is an orderof magnitude larger than the X-ray radiative loss in the cavity-occupiedregion, providing corroborating evidence for cavity-induced heating of theintragroup gas in A1569N. A1569S exhibits possible evidence for a small-scalecluster-subcluster merger, as indicated by its high central entropy, and thepresence of local gas elongation and a density discontinuity in between thebent radio tails of 1233+168. The discontinuity is indicative of a weak mergershock with Mach Number, $M\sim1.7$. The most plausible geometry for the ongoinginteraction is a head-on merger occurring between A1569S and a subclusterfalling in from the west along the line bisecting the WAT tails.
