C# ODataQueryOptions with EF6 navigation property filters. System.ArgumentNullException : Value cannot be null. Parameter name: type

I've a parent class

public class Audit : BaseModel//Properties are intentionally made non virtual
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int FacilityId { get; set; }
    public string Passcode { get; set; }
    public ICollection<AuditDate> AuditDates { get; set; }
}

and a child class

public class AuditDate : BaseModel
{
    public int Duration { get; set; }
    public DateTime StartDate { get; set; }
    public DateTime EndDate{ get; set; }
}

Now, these are used in entity framework (ver. 6) CF approach where

public virtual DbSet Audits { get; set; }

is declared. Then, I'm using below code to apply oData queries-

Prepared ODataQueryOptions:

private ODataQueryOptions PrepareOdataQueryOption(Uri oDataUri)
    {
            HttpConfiguration httpConfiguration = new HttpConfiguration();
            httpConfiguration.EnableDependencyInjection();

            HttpRequestMessage httpRequestMessage = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Get, oDataUri);
            httpRequestMessage.Properties[HttpPropertyKeys.HttpConfigurationKey] = httpConfiguration;

            ODataModelBuilder oDataModelBuilder = new ODataConventionModelBuilder();
            oDataModelBuilder.EntityType<TDomainModel>();

            ODataQueryContext oDataQueryContext = new ODataQueryContext(oDataModelBuilder.GetEdmModel(), typeof(TDomainModel), null);
            return new ODataQueryOptions(oDataQueryContext, httpRequestMessage);
    }

Apply ODataQueryOptions (dbSet is DbSet<T>, T is Audit in this case)

ODataQueryOptions oDataQueryOptions = PrepareOdataQueryOption(oDataUri);
IQueryable Value = oDataQueryOptions.ApplyTo(dbSet);

But when I call this using following oData uri

http://localhost:7071/api/Audit?$expand=AuditDates($filter=Id eq 1)

I get error at statement IQueryable Value = oDataQueryOptions.ApplyTo(dbSet);

System.ArgumentNullException : Value cannot be null. Parameter name: type at Microsoft.OData.Edm.EdmUtil.CheckArgumentNull[T](T value,String parameterName). Microsoft.OData.Edm: Value cannot be null.

This happens only when I try to filter child records so that I can retrieve only few child records, not all.

Following URIs work as expected (error is only in case of filter on navigation properties):

1. http://localhost:7071/api/Audit?$expand=AuditDates
2. http://localhost:7071/api/Audit?$expand=AuditDates&$filter=AuditDates/any(auditDate: auditDate/Id eq 1)
3. http://localhost:7071/api/Audit?$select=Id,Name
4. http://localhost:7071/api/Audit?$select=Id,Name&$expand=AuditDates($select=Id,StartDate)

Thanks!
